A father alone spreads help to others like him

A Minnesota native has loved and lost. He experienced the devastating death of his wife and turned it into a positive. He created a blog that bloomed into a nonprofit foundation that offers support to men and women that have lost their spouse and left to raise their children.

  2. That right there is a perfect example of what my friend Kyle taught me. Pain can be used as either a tool or a weapon. You can let it destroy you or you can better yourself and others with it.

  3. I heard about this on the radio this morning. Even though this man lost his wife he was able to turn this devastating experience into something positive. I know this must have been hard for him at first, but I'm sure that he feels better now knowing that his experience is helping so many people.

  4. I think that is so amazing when people can turn their tragic experiences into a way to help other people. I haven't heard about this story yet, but a nonprofit foundation such as that seems like something that will really be useful for some people.
