This episode was originally aired in October 2021. It's important for men to have a place to share their stories too, and all are welcome here.

This episode is the story of Southofthe49th's journey with his wife after her diagnosis of a brain tumor. He does not share his identity, due to the privacy of his kids, but has learned how to use TikTok as a way to share his story and document memories for his children. You can find him on TikTok as @southofthe49th.

He also recommends finding a Grief Share group for support on the grief journey. You can simply go to their website, put in your zip code, and find a meeting near you.

Take-away: It's ok to be sad, but it's also ok to find joy at the same time.

All of our stories are important. If you have a story to share, please send an email to ⁠daughterswithoutmoms@gmail.com⁠. You don't have to be a DWOM to share your story. All are welcome!
