Strength Isn't Silence. Strength Is Understanding What Grief Really Means
A Father Grieves Too
We help grieving dads move with grief - not past it - while staying present for their family and honouring their child.
In Loving Memory of Our Sons H&M
What Happens When You Finally Have Space to Speak
"I started this by saying I felt alone. These are thoughts I've had in my head but I haven't been able to say them out loud to anyone. That was refreshing."
"I think I needed other people to just know how much guilt I'm feeling. It made me feel very connected tonight, which is something I was really needing."
"This actually really did help a lot. This is probably the first time I cried since it happened."
"I thought I was doing okay, but I have not cried like this about my son in a long time."
Mission
Our Purpose
"StillDad is a private space where grieving fathers can finally put words to what happened, honour their child, and move with their grief, not around it or past it. Through the guided Letter Writing Journey, you write your way forward alongside other dads who understand."

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
My loss was years ago - can I join?
Yes. Grief has no timeline.
Do I need to be a “writer”?
No. This is about love, not grammar.
Will I have to share my letter?
Never required. Listening is welcome.
Can miscarriages, neonatal and perinatal dads join?
Yes. It's all inclusive
Will this make me feel worse?
Many dads worry that writing or talking about their loss will reopen wounds. What we've found is the opposite: dads often feel lighter after a session, even when the session itself was emotional. You're not creating new pain, you're giving the pain you already carry a place to go.
Is this therapy?
No - peer-based reflection for dads.
Are sessions recorded?
Yes, replay for your group only, not public.
Is there a fee?
Yes. The Letter Writing Journey runs as a private space for $400 - which includes a lifetime membership to Stilldad Circle Community
