In this episode of Logan’s Voice, Doug Ballinger – Logan’s dad – explores the surprising truth that grief and joy aren’t opposites. They can live side-by-side, shaping how we see the world after loss. Drawing from personal moments, Doug shares how gratitude can grow even in the hardest seasons and why choosing to notice joy is not a betrayal of the person you miss, but an honor to their memory.
