Still Their Dad - Hardback Edition
People often ask me if I have children.
It's one of the simplest questions in the world. For a father whose child has died, it can be one of the hardest.
Grant Thackray lost both of his daughters, Tia and Sara.
Still Their Dad isn't a book about the days they died. It's a book about being their father — before, during, and long after the worst days of his life.
Written from one grieving dad to another, it's an honest, unflinching account of the things men so rarely say out loud: the anger that has nowhere to go, the silence that pushes people away, the fear that never quite leaves, the guilt buried in the words if only — and the quiet, stubborn love that outlasts all of it.
There are no clichés here. No tidy answers. No pressure to "move on." Just a father who understands, sitting beside you in the dark, and reminding you of something you may have forgotten.
At the end of every chapter, a short letter — From One Dad to Another — speaks directly to any parent walking the same road.
You're still their dad. And nothing — not even death — can change that.
