REPLAY: When Grief Breaks You (& What Comes After) with Gene Fought

For the month of December, we’re replaying our top 5 episodes of the year—this one comes in at number 3:

In this episode, we talk about the kind of grief that shatters a life—and what comes after. We’re joined by our very first guest, Gene Fought, who shares his story of unimaginable loss: the death of his daughter to suicide. Through his story, we explore what it means to grieve, whether there’s a wrong or right way to grieve, how faith and loss can coexist, and how to support others when they’re in the depths of pain. This is a raw, honest, and hopeful conversation about heartbreak and finding meaning after tragedy.

Gene Fought works as an Intelligence Analyst for the Federal government, is the owner of Renzo Gracie Martinsburg, founder of the ⁠Grapple;4Life Foundation⁠, and serves as a Board Member and Public Policy Chair for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
