The Lost Love Stories with Sabrina & Her Dad Jon: When Grief Turns Destructive—and How She Came Back

Send us Fan Mail This episode is different. It’s not just a love story. It’s a mother and daughter telling the same story… from two very different places. In this episode of The Lost Love Stories, I sit down with my daughter, Sabrina—Beanie—to talk about her dad. Their relationship was special in a way that only a father and daughter can understand. From volleyball to weekly breakfasts, he was her person. And then… he got sick. What follows is something I don’t think we talk about enough: What grief looks like for teenagers. Sabrina shares—honestly and without filters: What it felt like to watch her dad decline The regret she carries from pulling away when things got hard The panic, confusion, and trauma of losing him And what happened after Because her story didn’t go in a straight line. It spiraled. There were moments of anger. Disconnection. Self-destruction. And as her mom… I watched it happen in real time. This episode is about that tension: Loving someone and not knowing how to help them Being lost and not knowing how to find your way back And what it actually takes to come through the other side Sabrina talks about the people who kept her here. The relationships that shaped her—for better and worse. And the moment she started to realize she had to find happiness within herself. Now, four years later, she’s in a completely different place. Not “healed.” But grounded. Self-aware. And genuinely happy again. This episode is messy. It’s honest. And it’s one I’ll never forget recording. Because sometimes the most important stories… are the hardest ones to tell. #grief #loss, #healing, #relationships, #love, #family, #cancer, #mentalhealth #personalgrowth #growth, #therapy #griefjourney #podcast #dad #daddydaughter Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ChNhFpY0Qkg Email [email protected] with comments, questions or to be considered as a guest on show.
