Grief can overwhelm or it can be the fuel for rebuilding - on February 14, 1884, Theodore Roosevelt lost both his mother and his wife within hours and marked the moment with a single X and the line "The light has gone out of my life." How does a 25-year-old with a newborn respond to that scale of loss, and why did he choose the relentless hardship of the Dakota frontier instead of retreat?
In this episode, we follow the exact day Roosevelt's world collapsed and the immediate choice he made afterward, tracing how he moved from private devastation to a life of demanding action; why did he leave for Dakota, and what did that harsh work demand of him?
