Grieving as a Dad: Kurt Moore on Loss, Parenting, and Legacy
In this episode, we sit down with Kurt Moore, a widowed dad raising two kids while navigating life after the death of his wife, Emily. With both humor and honesty, Kurt shares how his personal history of grief—including losing his own father as a teenager—shaped the way he’s parented through unimaginable loss.
We talk about how kids grieve—often saying the things adults are too afraid to admit—what it means to keep showing up even when you'd rather fall apart, and why legacy isn't just what we leave behind—it's something we live every day.
Whether you’re a grieving parent, a friend supporting one, or just trying to make sense of your own grief story, Kurt’s perspective is a powerful reminder that there’s no one way through this—and you don’t have to go it alone.
In this episode, we cover:
The layers of grief across generations—and how they ripple forward
Parenting while grieving (and the surprising things your kids might say)
How Kurt’s wife, Emily, prepared a legacy of love for her children
Blending grief with new love, and navigating community perceptions
Showing up, breaking down, and starting again—imperfectly
