In the first episode of Dads Don’t Cry, host Peter opens his heart and shares the story behind the podcast and the loss that inspired it. Speaking about his daughter Aodhla, Peter reflects on the silence that often surrounds fathers’ grief and why it’s time to break it.

With honesty, love, and vulnerability, he explores what it means to be a dad after loss, why every child deserves to be remembered, and how sharing our stories can help us heal.

This introduction aims to set the tone for a series that gives dads a voice — and reminds every grieving parent: you are not alone.
