Diary of a Fatherless Daughter
A Journey Through Absence, Grief, and Reconnection
Welcome to Diary of a Fatherless Daughter, a monthly email series dedicated to exploring the unique challenges and emotions that come with growing up without a father. This space is for anyone who has felt the sting of absence, the ache of not feeling “good enough”, and the longing for connection - both with others and with yourself.
What you’ll find here:
Each month, Diary of a Fatherless dives deep into the themes of abandonment, grief, and self-discovery. Whether you’ve struggled with:
The pain of being left behind,
Grieving someone who is still alive,
Rebuilding your sense of worth, or
Navigating relationships while carrying these wounds,
…..this diary offers a compassionate voice and practical tools to help you along the way.
Why this Matters
The absence of a father can leave a lifelong impact - on how we see ourselves, how we trust others, and how we show up in the world (speaking from experience). For many of us, these wounds run deep, showing up as a feeling of not being good enough (ouch) or struggling to understand why we weren’t chosen - by our dad’s and then subsequently other people.
This space isn’t about dwelling on pain but finding hope, healing, and connection. It’s about realising that your worth was never tied to someone else’s choices and that you can write your own story.
What to Expect
Every month, Diary of Fatherless Daughter will offer:
Personal reflections: Honest, heartfelt insights on what it means to live and grow with this experience - through every chapter of your life.
Practical guidance: Small, actionable steps to help you reconnect with yourself and reclaim your sense of worth.
Encouragement and hope: A reminder that you are not alone in this journey - the reason I started this whole professional journey.
