About the Book

Grief in men is often misunderstood — sometimes by others, often by men themselves. It may show up as silence, irritability, overwork, detachment, numbness, or relentless functioning. Still Standing helps men understand how loss affects them and how to move through it without disappearing inside it.

Whether the loss is a person, a relationship, a role, a dream, or a former version of life, this book offers practical guidance for staying honest, steady, and connected in the middle of pain. It respects the reality that grief is hard without turning it into something abstract or performative.
