In this deeply emotional and raw episode of the Dad to Dads podcast, Robert sits down with Matt and Monica Spellicy for a conversation that explores the unimaginable journey of losing two children in a tragic accident.

When Matt and Monica’s lives were shattered in July 2025 by a devastating tractor-trailer collision that claimed the lives of Matt’s oldest son, Tyler, and his daughter, Kylie, they were forced to navigate a depth of grief that no parent should ever have to face. Yet, in the wake of this heartbreak, they have chosen to stand firm in their faith and purpose.

In this episode, we discuss:

Surviving the Unthinkable: How Matt and Monica have navigated the immediate aftermath of losing Tyler and Kylie, and the role their faith has played in keeping them upright.
The Power of Memory: Matt shares tender, authentic stories about Tyler’s growth and Kylie’s spirit, explaining why he chooses to lean into the pain rather than hide from it.
Parenting After Tragedy: A profound look at how they continue to parent their youngest son, Bradley, and why they are committed to showing him and others that you can find happiness again after loss.
The Choice to Be Better: Why Matt believes that even in the darkest moments, we have a choice: to be broken by our adversity or to use it to become stronger for ourselves and our families.

This conversation is not just about grief; it is a masterclass in courage, intentional parenting, and the healing power of vulnerability. If you have experienced a profound loss, or if you simply need a reminder to cherish the time you have with your children, this episode is for you.
