I'm glad that you found something to help you with your grief. That you also created it to also share with other grieving men is commendable, thank you.

Your guide is very helpful. I related to many parts of it. Especially, that tug to burn everything down after my loss, and the awkwardness of dealing with friends afterwards. Keep up the good work. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best.

I want to send this to my brother, he lost his 4 year old daughter suddenly a couple of years ago. But he has completely shut me out, it's like he hates me now. Im scared to send it to him.

Jason - This passage resonated with me. ---They’ll tell you to find a sense of purpose or something meaningful to do. Start a nonprofit. Run a marathon. Launch a campaign. Write a book. You know it’s all well-meaning and they’re probably right, but it’s taking everything you have not to punch them in the face. ---- It can feel like a competition when you see grieving parents doing all of these things, so energized, and you can't imagine having the energy for any of this.

Thank you my friend. I wanted to write something that would have helped me after my wife died.

At that time, I thought grief was weak people crying in bed while strong people (like me) took care of what needed taking care of.

It took me a long time to understand how just how high a price I paid for those beliefs.

All I want to do is help other men what's happening to them so they navigate a devastating loss without destroying themselves, and everything else they love.
