A Place of Yes | A Grief Podcast

Brian, Jake's Dad | Part 1


Listen Later

Today, we are joined by Brian, Jake Straughter's dad, and host Heather's husband. Brian and Heather walk down memory lane in part 1, recounting the life and death of their 4-year-old son, Jake.

Jake has been the driving force of both Brian and Heather's life's work through Jake's Help From Heaven, a nonprofit that was created in Jakes's name, to help families local to the capital region access support for their needs with medical challenges.

Join us for this episode as Heather and Brian touch on some of the happiest and darkest times with their son Jake, and tune in next week for part 2 where they discuss what happened in the aftermath of losing Jake.
