Episode 18:  Father’s Day Without Her – A Conversation with Cassie’s Dad  

Father’s Day can be especially tender for families who have lost a child. In this special episode of Broken Vessels, I sit down with my husband, Mark — Cassie’s dad — to talk about what this day means to a grieving father.

Together, we reflect on Mark’s love for Cassie, the journey of parenting through addiction, and how he continues to honor her life even in her absence. With honesty and vulnerability, Mark shares his heart as a dad who has loved deeply, lost painfully, and is learning to carry both.

This episode is a tribute to the quiet strength of grieving fathers everywhere — and a reminder that their stories matter too.
