Lukase Libamira

Men Also Cry is a deeply personal, emotionally honest, and culturally necessary exploration of grief through the eyes of a father who has lost a child. Written by Lukase Libamira after the death of his firstborn son, Zuriel Tamnai Lukase, the book challenges long-standing societal expectations placed on men—especially fathers—to remain stoic, silent, and emotionally contained in the face of devastating loss. This work is both memoir and guide, combining lived experience, grief literacy, faith, psychology, and community wisdom to help grieving parents—particularly men—understand, process, and live alongside grief without being consumed by it. At its core, Men Also Cry insists on one radical truth: grief is not weakness, and men are not exempt from pain. The book does not attempt to “fix” grief or offer shortcuts to healing. Instead, it invites readers into a lifelong journey of recognition, response, and reset—learning to live meaningfully after loss while honoring the child who died.
