> お父さんの無念を引き継ぎ糧にすることが出来る。

I tried to understand what this sentence means, but I am totally confused. It
was related to an assets that left behind, but there was 糧 character which
means food or provision, it's really confusing. Please kindly help. Thanks.

お父さんの無念を引き継ぎ糧にすることが出来る。 What's the meaning?
糧 originally meant food. Now it also means something that makes you grow.

> 「お父さんの無念{むねん}を引{ひ}き継{つ}ぎ糧{かて}にすることが出来{でき}る。」

＝

> 「お父さんの無念を引き継ぎ、（それを）糧にすることが出来る。」 with 「それ」 referring to 「お父さんの無念」.

「糧{かて}」, in this context, roughly means " **food for thought** ", "
**intellectual nourishment** ", etc. This is a very common usage of the word,
too, besides its basic meaning of "burgers and fries" (j/k), the food with
real calories.
