In this episode, Robbie Norris shares his deeply personal journey through grief and heartbreak following the loss of his daughter Indie. Robbie opens up about the challenges he faced and the lessons he learned along the way, offering valuable insights for others navigating similar experiences. He describes the intense anger and shares his struggles with directing his anger towards his wife, Molly.
In this Episode:
· The difference in grieving styles initially caused tension but ultimately helped them understand and support each other better.
· Turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism, which he regrets.
· Reflecting on the importance of seeking professional help to manage his anger and wishes he had been more open to this earlier.
· Despite their different grieving processes, Robbie and Molly decided to lean on each other, which strengthened their bond as a couple.
· Societal pressure on men to be the strong, supportive "rock" and how challenging it was to accept that he could not fix the situation.
You have to recognize that your partner, your wife, your girlfriend is likely going to take it harder than you do, and you have to recognize that their bond is greater, and I wish I would have recognized it sooner. I’m glad I do now. ~ Robbie Norris
