Dave Baker, a 34-year-old from Vermont, experienced a devastating loss earlier this year—his eldest sister passed away after an illness. Coming from a family of nine, with two parents and seven kids, this loss sent waves through their lives. Dave shares his deeply personal journey of grief, what it was like being the only brother alongside five grieving sisters, and how he balanced being a husband, father, and son during such a traumatic time.
What struck me most in our conversation was Dave’s openness about therapy, medication, and the importance of expressing emotions—breaking down stigmas many of us face. His reflections on grief, family, and resilience are honest, raw, and incredibly powerful. This is a conversation that will leave you feeling seen, no matter where you are in your own journey
