Dad's Corner from What to Expect
Welcome to Dad's Corner where you can exchange advice, vent, offer support, and make friends with other dads and dads-to-be.
Dad Still Standing is 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.
