Still Standing - Hardback Edition
Most grief books weren't written for you.
They talk about feelings you're not sure you're having, in ways that don't match how you're actually coping. They leave you feeling like grief is something you're failing at.
You're not failing. You're just doing it like a man.
STILL STANDING meets you exactly where you are — in the anger, the numbness, the exhaustion, the mask you wear at work and the moments that ambush you years later when you least expect them.
Written by someone who lost two daughters at separate times, two separate losses, and found his way through both — this is not a book written from the outside looking in. It was written from the inside, by someone who knows what it is to grieve, to recover, and then to grieve again.
And who knows, from lived experience, that life can come back both times.
Inside you'll find:
- Why men grieve differently — and why that's not wrong
- The anger, guilt and numbness nobody talks about
- How to keep functioning when everything inside you has stopped
- What grief does to your relationships, your work and your sense of who you are
- How to carry loss forward without forgetting or betraying the people you've lost
No stages. No therapy-speak. No empty reassurances.
Just honest, practical guidance for men who are dealing with loss on their own terms.
Short enough to actually read. Honest enough to actually help.
Life can be good again. Without forgetting them. Without betraying them. Just forward — carrying them with you.
