In 2014, the men’s private support group was born and has developed into a successful safe place for men all over the world.
• dadstillstanding.com Dad Still Standing was created as a way of helping other dads along their journey with grief. To discuss the difficulties you go through in bereavement, both in the immediate aftermath of baby loss and as time moves on. If your experience is anything like theirs, you’ll have found that there are next to no resources or support for dads… by dads… and that’s precisely what they’ve tried to create.
