The unthinkable has happened. You have lost a baby. It may not have been in your body, but it was yours just the same. Everyone is so focused on your wife, asking after her, and wanting to know how to help her. You are expected to be the strong one. You go back to work the next day, take care of the family and the home while she rests, handle a dozen little things. You are her rock, her shoulder to cry on, her comfort when nothing seems right. You may even hold your feelings back, out of concern for your wife.
The truth is, men grieve differently. For some it takes weeks, months, even years to fully acknowledge their grief. That you are here, wanting to learn more, is a good sign. Or, perhaps my reader is the wife, wanting to learn how to help her husband with his greiving process. Either way, we hope that you will find help and healing here.
