Why, Dad?

Grief, God, and Fatherhood: Mick’s Story

Episode Summary

This episode is different. We sit down with Mick Wienholt to talk about fatherhood that begins with loss. Mick and his wife lost their firstborn son, Luke, at full term. What followed wasn’t a clean or simple healing process. It was grief, questions, anger, surrender… and eventually, transformation. In this conversation, we talk about: • What it feels like to become a dad and lose your child in the same moment • How grief reshapes your identity as a man and husband • The difference between moving on and moving forward • How to support someone walking through loss • And how Mick carries Luke into his family today This isn’t about fixing grief. It’s about learning to live with it… and who you become because of it.
