Guest Tiff Daniels joins Scott and Roger to honour the memory of his father, George—a lifelong salesman and "Caring Canadian" award recipient who lived by a mantra of self-accountability. The group explores the heavy transition of becoming the family’s new "roof" after a father passes, shifting from the role of the protected to the protector. From the humour of a Costco-sized errand to the complexity of navigating a parent's medical advocacy, this episode is a thoughtful look at how a father's lessons on positivity and community continue to provide shelter long after he's gone.Learn more about the podcast at: https://www.deaddadspodcast.com/More grief resources are available at: https://www.deaddadspodcast.com/grief-resources-for-men/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deaddadspodcastFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deaddadspodcastFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deaddadspodcastFollow us on Substack: https://www.substack.com/@deaddadspodcastChapters: 00:00 Introduction and Initial Shock00:58 Meet the Hosts and Guest01:19 Tiff's Motivation to Join the Podcast02:17 Tiff's Relationship with His Father03:54 Discussing Tiff's Father's Personality11:55 Tiff's Father's Final Days27:00 Coping with Loss and Family Responsibilities27:44 Reflecting on Parental Influence28:08 Supporting a Grieving Mother29:39 Becoming the Family Patriarch31:35 Living Up to a Father's Legacy33:01 Unexpected Traits and Memories34:29 Handling Grief and Family Memories41:42 The Practicalities of Grief51:34 Final Thoughts and Reflections
