The Tears of Broken Men
(The Untold Stories)
by Tumelo T Phaka“Men don’t cry.” But they do. And when they do, the world rarely listens.
In The Tears of Broken Men (The Untold Stories), author and mental health advocate Tumelo Phaka opens the door to the hidden world of men who have battled with suicidal thoughts, and survived. Through raw, unfiltered stories from real men across different walks of life, this book confronts the painful silence that surrounds men’s mental health.
These are not stories of weakness. They are stories of courage: courage to admit pain, courage to survive, and courage to speak when silence was killing them.
If you are a man who has ever suffered in silence, these pages are for you.
