The Gift of Grief

Grief is one of the most powerful and complex of emotions experienced by caregivers, but no one talks about it.

Meet Jonathan, the only caregiver to his 14-year-old daughter Grace, who has autism.

This is a father’s story about the wounds caused by the weight of meeting society’s expectations, and the grief of knowing his daughter will never be like others. Listen to how he planned for their future, as he leaned into his grief and came out of it with a sense of purpose, clarity and newfound joy.
