E1: Introducing Dad Always

How has Dad Always helped you redefine fatherhood after your loss?

Dad Always opens with a clear promise: this is a home for fathers and families carrying baby loss, where grief does not need to be defended and love is allowed to last. 

We share five core beliefs, outline the formats to come, and introduce the story behind the theme song, "Love Letter" (more in Episode 2).

Key takeaways:
• who this space is for and why it exists
• how baby loss reshapes identity and fatherhood
• five core beliefs that guide every conversation

1. dads grieve deeply, even when we grieve quietly
2. being a dad is about more than having a living child
3. strength includes asking for and accepting support
4. meaning and pain can exist side by side
5. dads never need to justify or explain their grief

• what to expect from interviews, reflections, and crafted episodes
• practical care and permission to move at your own pace
