Letter Writing Journey – A 5-Week Guided Reflection & Writing Series for Grieving Dads
The StillDad Letter Writing Journey is a structured space where fathers write their way through grief: naming their loss, rediscovering themselves, reconnecting with those they love, and honoring their child. Over five 90-minute sessions, you’ll write five letters: to yourself, to your partner or loved ones, and to your child. Each session includes grounding practices, guided writing prompts, and optional sharing in a small group of dads who understand. This isn’t therapy or counseling, it’s a dad-first reflection practice, created by a bereaved father for fathers.
Upcoming Cohorts (all sessions run Tuesdays, 8:30 PM ET):
September 2026 Cohort
Starts September 1 | Runs through September 29
Register for the StillDad LWJ September Cohort HERE
October 2026 Cohort
Starts October 27 | Runs through November 24
Register for the StillDad LWJ October Cohort HERE
Cost: Fully covered by Sad Dads Club. No cost to participants.
Facilitated by Azher Rubbani (Hashim’s dad), a bereaved father and grief guide who has walked this path and wants to help other dads find language for the love that never ends.
Weekly
SAD DADS CLUB meets via Zoom every Thursday at 8:30pm ET for Sad Dads Open Hour (SDOH) and “My Child, My Story” (MCMS) sessions.
Please read our guidelines below. Then, use this link to register for SDOH/MCMS.
Guidelines: Sad Dads Open Hour (SDOH) + My Child, My Story (MCMS)
SDOH + MCMS provide a safe, supportive community for dads and non-birthing parents.
SDOH + MCMS takes place every Thursday at 8:30pm ET via Zoom. It is a non-clinical, virtual space and there is no fee to join. We ask that anyone joining this space adhere to the following house rules:
- Respect the stories of others.
- Use the “mute,” “raised hand,” and other features on Zoom.
- Share the space with others by ensuring everyone gets a chance to speak.
- Follow the suggested prompts and stay on the topic being discussed.
- Zero tolerance for aggressive and offense behavior and/or language.
If the community feels that any of the above guidelines have been compromised, it will be reviewed by our Guidelines Committee. That may result in an individual being asked not to return to subsequent SDOH + MCMS sessions.
While SDOH is for dads and non-birthing parents, the featured presenter for MCMS is able to invite any family/friends whom they would like to attend their story.
If you have questions or want to learn more, please contact info@saddadsclub.org
