You are never alone

Those who can't be with their loved ones often struggle with the emotional weight of it during the holidays. We are here for you.

For those dealing with the loss of a family, the holidays are the toughest time of year. Nothing is more excruciating than not being able to be with your children or other cherished family members.

Perhaps you’re struggling with feelings of isolation or helplessness yourself—or know someone who is. It’s our ongoing mission to make you believe you are not alone and that help is never far away. We are a whole community of people who have walked through what you’re experiencing, or know someone who has. If you know someone who needs this message during this holiday season, please pass it on!

I put it this way in my book, The Respondent:

I did not want to write this book—I had to. While this is a story about my tumultuous journey to uncover mysteries and reclaim innocence, I trust it will feel familiar to many walking a similar path. And so, I offer The Respondent with the hope that it helps just one man know himself and the world more honestly, and helps just one child avoid the loss of a loving parent.

I submit this to forsaken fathers not only as a totem that stands to remind you that you are not alone, but also as a map to help you in your disconsolate quest for enlightenment and redemption, as you exorcise the unrelenting demons of living grief that come with missed milestones, lost childhoods, stolen moments, broken promises, disillusioned unions, and all the skeletal remains of bygone days. This is my testimony to those cast out: you deserve to be back in the village. You belong.

The Respondent is also for those who love a man enduring a separation, for a father of a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, or a child. If you know someone going through a difficult divorce or the loss of their children, please reach out to them. If they don’t grab your hand right away, try again—they may eventually accept it and love you for it. You just might save a life.

Believe me, you are not alone. Welcome to our Community. Let’s protect our families and save our kids—and ourselves—together.
