Dad Still Standing
đ Winner of the Best Parenting Podcast of the Year - British Podcast Awards. Two dads discussing baby loss, coping with life, and working their way through grief. In the aftermath of losing babies, Liam and Matt found there was no support specifically aimed at dads to help them process their grief, prepare for what was to come next, and help them to support their partners. So, they've teamed up to create this podcast for other dads (and families) which shows a bereaved father's perspective and provides the tools to help them on their journey with grief.

The Guilt of Happiness

The Guilt of Happiness
In this episode, the dads delve into the complex emotions that come with feeling happiness after experiencing a profound loss. Many of us grapple with guilt when moments of joy peek through our grief - wondering if it's okay to feel happy and questioning what it means about our mourning. We explore not only the personal dimension of this guilt but also how perceptionsâboth our own and those of people around usâshape these feelings. Matt and Liam discuss the sources of this guilt, whether it is internal expectations or external pressures, and how to understand the emotional landscape that tells us it might be too soon or somehow disrespectful to find joy in life again. Through this conversation, we aim to offer perspectives that help normalise these feelings as a part of the healing process, providing comfort and understanding to anyone navigating life after loss. Join us as we break down these barriers, encouraging a dialogue about emotional honesty and the right to reclaim joy without reservation.

Escaping the Rut
In this episode, the dads get real about the emotional ups and downs that come with losing a baby. And the sometimes never-ending rut that feels impossible to escape. They explain that grief isn't just about feeling sad; it's a mix of emotions that can make you feel physically tired or mentally stuck.

Sharing is Caring: an episode for friends and family
For most of us, we can probably think of a friend or family member who could have done more to support us or was that little bit better after our loss. But due to a lack of knowledge or thoughtfulness or experience, they just weren't there when we needed them. Well, after a suggestion from one of our listeners...we've done something different with this episode. We've designed and recorded it for you to pass on to that family member who isn't there for you, or that mate who you think could be doing more. It isn't about shaming them or making them feel like shit, but about giving them an insight into what you're going through and the type of things they can do to help. The episode for family and friends begins at 6 minutes but obviously, they can listen to the whole thing...we'll leave that up to you.

In this weekâs episode Matt & Liam talk to , Senior Clinical Lecturer in Obstetrics and Director of - the Rainbow Clinic - at St Maryâs Hospital in Manchester, UK. The Rainbow Clinic provides specialist care for women who have suffered a previous stillbirth or neonatal death with the aim of ensuring that it doesnât happen again in future pregnancies.
