We are here for you this Father's Day

11/06/2025

We understand that Father’s Day and the lead up to the day, can be filled with mixed emotions and can be a difficult occasion for Dads who have lost their baby. While others may celebrate fatherhood with cards and breakfast in bed, and gifts, many bereaved Dads are navigating the pain of loss, often in silence. At Aching Arms, we want you to know you are not alone, and you do not have to carry this grief by yourself.

Support for Dads
We understand that Dads grieve too. That’s why we offer bereavement support led by people who truly get it, other bereaved parents. For fathers, this means the opportunity to speak with other men who have faced the heartbreak of losing a baby, and who can offer a compassionate, understanding ear without judgment or pressure.

Our support service exists to create a safe, supportive space just for Dads. If you'd like to book a one-to-one support call with Tom, our Support Lead for Dads please text 07754 436133 or leave a voicemail, or alternatively you can email dadsupport@achingarms.co.uk and Tom will be in touch to arrange a suitable time to call you.

Monthly Online Group for Dads
We host a monthly online support group exclusively for Dads, held on the first Monday of each month at 7:30 pm (unless otherwise noted). To join the next meeting, please get in touch with Tom via email at: dadsupport@achingarms.co.uk.

We also offer a support guide for Dads, and you can find more information about this book here.

This Father’s Day, we see you. We honour your love, your strength, and your sorrow. We are here to walk beside you, for as long as you need us.

If you or someone you know needs support, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You are a Dad. You always will be. You do not have to do this alone.
