What Makes the Cow Guy Cry | Miscarriage, Grief, Loss & Finding Hope

Pregnancy loss is a deeply personal experience that many people go through but few feel comfortable talking about. In this emotional episode of What Makes the Cow Guy Cry, Jim Dedelow, Scott "The Cow Guy" Shellady, Michelle Henderson, and Joel Henderson have an honest conversation about miscarriage, grief, trauma, and learning how to move forward. Michelle and Joel open up about experiencing two pregnancy losses, including the devastating loss of their baby at 20 weeks. They share what those experiences were like, how they coped afterward, and why talking openly about miscarriage helped them realize they were far from alone. The conversation also brings Scott Shellady's own experience with pregnancy loss into the discussion. Scott explains the different ways he has learned to cope with tragedy and why he believes that, even after devastating loss, you can still make a conscious effort to choose happiness and keep moving forward. From grieving privately to talking with friends and family, returning to work, finding humor, and simply taking things one day at a time, the group discusses the different ways people navigate grief—and why there is no single right way to heal. Most importantly, this episode offers a message of hope for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss or another major tragedy: you don't have to forget what happened to move forward. You can carry the loss with you while still finding reasons to live, laugh, and keep going. As Joel puts it, sometimes the first step is simply to climb out of the hole far enough to breathe the air and see the sunlight again. Listen to What Makes the Cow Guy Cry for an honest conversation about miscarriage, grief, healing, resilience, and finding hope after loss.
