Summary
The sudden death of a spouse is one of the worst tragedies imaginable. What's even more painful to think about is the effect it would have on our children. How do we teach our kids how to cope with grief?
Today we have one of our Dad Edge Alliance members Scott Tewell on the show. His wife and daughter were in a serious car accident in January of 2017. His daughter made it. His wife did not.
Scott is now a single dad raising a 13-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl. He talks about how he's helping his kids cope with the loss of their mother and how he's managing to rebuild himself as a man and father after such incredible heartbreak.
