Why Dark Humor Helps When You're Grieving


Listen Later

Welcome to the club no one wants to join. We are the grief support for men group that laughs way too much. Hit SUBSCRIBE to navigate father loss with us, and get your weekly dose of dark humor grief.


Coping with grief can feel isolating for men, especially when your dad dies and there isn’t really a place to talk about it.


Most men don’t talk about it. And when they do, it usually isn’t with laughter.


In this introduction to Dead Dads, Scott and Roger explain why they started a podcast about losing your dad, grief, and how men actually deal with it. After realizing there aren’t many places where guys can openly talk about the death of a father, they decided to create one themselves.


Dead Dads is a place where men can talk honestly about grief, loss, memories of their dads, and the strange moments that come after someone who shaped your life is gone. Some conversations are serious. Some are reflective. Some are unexpectedly funny.


Scott and Roger believe that talking about grief helps. Whether it’s with a therapist, a friend, or even a stranger who’s been through the same thing, sharing stories about your dad can make the weight a little easier to carry.


If you’ve experienced losing your dad, father loss, or the death of a parent, this podcast is for you.


Sometimes grief needs silence.

Sometimes it needs conversation.

Sometimes it needs a laugh.


We have it all.
