After the loss of his son in 2022, Jason began sharing his grief openly -- especially with men who often feel pressured to grieve quietly or alone.<br /><br />Today we’re talking about caregiving, identity, grief after child loss, and what it means to grieve as a man.<br /><br />Find out more about Jason at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://letterstozachary.com" target="_blank">https://letterstozachary.com</a>.<br /><br />If this channel helps you and you’d like to support it, here are ways to keep it going:<br /><br />BUY MY BOOK: Grief Sucks (But Your Life Doesn't Have To) visit: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://a.co/d/iFy7sLz" target="_blank">https://a.co/d/iFy7sLz</a><br /><br />MAKE A DONATION: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://buymeacoffee.com/brookecarlock" target="_blank">buymeacoffee.com/brookecarlock</a> <br />Channel Memberships available through YouTube and Super Thanks and Donations on livestreams.<br /><br />To read about Libby and help our nonprofit, visit <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://livelikelibby.org" target="_blank">livelikelibby.org</a>.</p>
