Dads Grieve Too: Breaking the Silence Around Traumatic Loss

from Logan's Voice · host Doug Ballinger - Logan's Dad

What does grief look like when you’re a father, when the world expects you to be the strong one, but your heart has been shattered by loss?In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Doug shares his journey after the death of his son Logan, who was poisoned by a single dose laced with fentanyl, cocaine, and xylazine. This isn’t just a story about grief, it’s about traumatic grief, the kind that comes without warning and leaves lasting scars.Doug opens up about the silence many fathers face, the stigma that surrounds overdose deaths, and the healing power of finally leaning into grief instead of running from it. He speaks directly to other dads, and to anyone carrying the weight of sudden, stigmatized loss, with honesty, compassion, and unwavering love.This episode is a voice for those who feel voiceless. And a reminder that strength doesn’t mean silence.“Because grief isn’t weakness, it’s proof that love never dies.”#DadsGrieveToo #TraumaticGrief #FentanylAwareness #GriefJourney #StillHisDad #LogansVoicePodcast #OverdoseAwareness #BreakTheStigma #GriefIsLove #SilentPain #OnePillCanKill #FathersInGrief #EndTheSilence #GriefSupport #GriefHealing
