My Dad Passed

About this episode

The episode shares a personal story of loss and the complexities of family relationships following the host's father's deportation and passing.

In this raw and personal episode, I share my story of losing my dad — from his deportation when I was 13 to the painful reality of his passing years later. I talk about reconnecting in Mexico, the anger and guilt I carried, his salvation prayer, and the lessons grief continues to teach me. This episode is for anyone navigating loss, complicated family relationships, or the invisible walls we build to protect ourselves. Until next time, keep breaking those walls. 🧱 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Other Platforms: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2tWqat227hCKTkLyN6FGLZ?si=DEp5Ah_jTOGFx4vXTOdYhw 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sgFkZIJCKVA 💬 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brickbreakerspodcast/ #BrickBreakers #GriefHealing #Faith #Family #DeportationStories
