How do you continue after your daughter dies?
In this episode, I sit down with Matt McConnell, a dad who tragically lost his daughter Wren at just eight days old. Matt opens up about the heartbreak of those days, the impossible decisions he and his wife faced, and the love that carried them through the darkest moments.
We talk grief, fatherhood, and how sharing our stories can break the silence around baby loss. Matt also shares the lessons he’s learned, the resources he’s put together for other dads through his Love From Dad website, and why speaking openly about this kind of grief is so vital.
This is a raw, deeply personal conversation, but also one full of hope, connection, and reminders that none of us are alone.
