In this heartfelt episode of Our Dead Dads, host Nick Gaylord sits down with Faith Sage, an author, artist, and podcast host, to share her profound journey through grief and resilience. Faith recounts the heartbreaking loss of her stepdaughter Cassandra in a tragic car accident, followed years later by the devastating loss of her granddaughter Peyton in another accident. She discusses the emotional aftermath of these tragedies, the complexities of grief, and how she navigated the blame, despair, and guilt that rippled through her family. Faith also opens up about her unique experience as a stepmother, weaving her personal history into the broader themes of healing and family dynamics.

Faith reflects on the transformative power of storytelling, which she channels through her books and her own grief-focused podcast. She shares how writing her story became an essential part of her healing process, helping her move through what she calls the "nothingness" of grief into a mindset of purpose and hope. Faith also emphasizes the importance of embracing difficult emotions, letting them flow, and finding ways to honor loved ones’ memories through meaningful connections and action.

As the conversation unfolds, Nick and Faith explore the necessity of creating space for open, honest discussions about grief in a society that often avoids it. They highlight the strength found in community and how sharing one’s story can be both a deeply personal and profoundly healing act. This episode is a testament to the enduring power of love, loss, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward.
