Down-to-earth help for the bloke suffering loss & grief
Yes Bold Women Speak is a movement of women rising and finding their voice following grief, loss and hard stuff, but yeah, you’ve found yourself here. Welcome mate!
You, as the bloke, may feel overlooked in the “grief cave” you find yourself in. Admit it! You know you’re in intense pain wondering “what the heck” and “where from here?” and/or “How will I ever do this?” And surely it would help to get some help!
Men often do grief different from the gals. But hey, Mr, I’m here for you. You might be going through the following hard, shitty moments….and want to feel assured there’s life at end of the tunnel and you want to do it the best way, for yourself and those around you.’’
Your wife, partner, girlfriend, lover…..may have a terminal illness or may have died.
Bringing up kids on your own after a family loss.
Lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion or infertility and struggling in your relationship and coming to terms with your loss.
Loss of your child.
Keen to start a new relationship following your loss and wondering how to do that the best.
These are all super-sucky, but…I’m blessed to have been through many of these scenarios myself and / or helped people through them.
5 year infertility journey and I know the strain that puts on relationships. Difficult for hubby putting up with me!
miscarried 2 babies and felt unheard in my pain. Hubby grieved too. Girls often go to their “groupies” for help and get their 1000 words (and their tears) out. Guys often do it in silence, but that’s far from helpful. You know that!
took on 3 girls as my own after their birthmum was killed in a car accident aged 31. Hubby and I navigated that new relationship and the kids grief. For you, you might be wondering how, when or if you get into a new relationship following your loss.
been mama to those girls now for 33 years and birthed 3 more kids. Yeah did the big juggling trick of parenting 6 kids. (and now grandparenting) Practical gal here who can help you deal with the day-to-day as you get through your loss.
solo-parented following divorce and humbled through the GFC and lost all my money and started again. All is darn well possible. If you’re now doing life alone with the kids, some of those day-to-day practicalities of family life might need “jiggling.”
My grandbaby died at age 10 days following numerous difficulties, but that’s a love story in itself.
So what am I saying?
I can offer practical, tangible support (see it as a grief gym workout to build your “coping muscle”) as well as help you “feel the feels” in a safe way without hitting the bottle, or other unuseful coping habits or addictions.
