Kevin Barrett joins the podcast to share the story of his father, Rowe, a man who balanced a gregarious public persona with a deep, quiet devotion to his family. From his recurring fascination with a documentary about migrating geese to the steady tradition of 6:00 AM Saturday pancakes with his grandson, we look at the small moments that define a legacy. We explore the internal process of navigating a sudden loss and the profound perspective shift that occurs when you realize that "being strong" is far less important than being present for the people who remain.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 Breaking the Stigma: It's Okay Not to Be Strong00:21 Introducing the Hosts and Their Unique Approach01:04 Welcoming Kevin Barrett: A Personal Connection01:56 Kevin's Journey: Finding Therapy Through Friends04:03 Coping Mechanisms: Music and TV Shows05:42 Reflecting on the Universe and Grief07:38 Remembering Roe Barrett: A Father's Legacy14:11 The Emotional Side of Roe Barrett18:34 Roe Barrett as a Grandfather19:17 Grandfather's Legacy and Memories20:06 A Funny Nighttime Incident20:35 The Passing of RO22:06 Discovering the Loss24:42 Dealing with the Aftermath25:50 Clearing Out and Moving On27:19 The Legal Side of Loss29:07 Grief and Therapy35:51 Support from Friends40:20 Advice for the Grieving43:00 Conclusion and Podcast Wrap-Up
