On this week’s Affirm That Sh!t, I sit down with Dave Roberts, a man who knows what it means to stand in the rubble of grief and still find a way to build something beautiful. After losing his daughter Janine to cancer, Dave was forced to face the dark night of the soul. He talks about the milestones forever tied to his grief—the day his granddaughter was born, the day Janine left, and how community, spirituality, and resilience helped him rise again.
We dive into the messy, human parts of grief: how it fractures you, how it bonds you to others, how it forces you to grow roots you never knew you had. Dave opens up about connecting with Janine’s spirit, embracing ancestral healing, and the raw, ongoing journey of letting go while keeping the bond alive.
If you’re searching for hope, for real talk, for a reason to keep breathing through the ache—this one’s for you.
