Tender Days

Father's Day After Loss

Honoring the dads who carry quietly too.

A note from my heart to yours

Today the world says Happy Father's Day. And there is a man in your life, or in the mirror, whose arms are empty too. 🤍 He is still a father. 🤍 His grief is real, even if quiet. 🤍 Today is allowed to be hard for him too.

One small thing, right now

Place a hand on his back, or on your own.

Fathers grieve in quiet too. Today, the quiet is held.

Affirmation

He is a father. I am a father. Our baby made us so. No silence can undo it.

If I am the dad: what I most need today is…

Stays only with you, on this device.

You made it through today. That is enough.
