Maine Points: SAD DADS CLUB
SAD DADS CLUB helps fellow bereaved fathers navigate life after loss by nurturing a supportive community and providing access to mental health services.
Rob Reider, Chris Piasecki, and Jay Tansey are three Mainers who, along with their wives, endured heartbreaking stillbirths. After the devastating loss of their daughter Bella, Jay and Elly were fortunate to be supported by good friends from Bowdoin, Rob and Tehilah. Unimaginably, 11 months later, Rob and T lost their first child, Lila. The two couples grappled with overwhelming grief as individuals, partners, and friends.
