“It should have been me” – grieving the loss of a loved one

October 2, 2025Leave a Comment

In April 2024, I picked up my phone and started to record myself as I began to feel a wave of grief pass over me after visiting a buddy of mine in the hospital. In the bed next to my buddy was a father with serious head injuries and broken legs after finding out he lost his wife & unborn child in the same accident. The quote of their 9 year old who just lost his mom pleading to take her place got me right in the feelers.

What a heart.

And I’ve felt that same ache of wanting to take the place of my dad losing his life… and my late wife, Ingrid.

Here’s me processing this live and you’ll see where I end up.
