The Weight of the Cinder Block Gets Less and Less

What keeps someone going after losing a child? Host Jim Dedelow and The Cow Guy discuss the emotional aftermath of child loss, choosing happiness through pain, battling cancer, compartmentalizing grief, and the moments that helped him survive the darkest days of his life. From the Chicago Board of Trade to teaching college students at DePaul University, this episode explores how purpose, family, faith, and helping others can become lifelines during trauma. The Cow Guy also shares why speaking openly about grief may now be part of his mission — helping parents and families who feel alone in their suffering. If you've experienced loss, depression, trauma, or are searching for hope after heartbreak, this emotional conversation will resonate deeply. 🎙️ Listen to What Makes the Cow Guy Cry on WJOB Radio and wherever you get your podcasts. #WhatMakesTheCowGuyCry #GriefPodcast #MentalHealth #ChildLoss #HealingAfterLoss #FaithAndHealing #TraumaRecovery #Parenting #PodcastRecommendation #WJOB #NorthwestIndiana #DePaulUniversity #ChicagoBoardOfTrade #EmotionalPodcast #Resilience
