Ladies -- feel free to ask questions
Even though this blog is intended to be a place for men to talk about how they're doing following the death of an infant, I want women to feel free to ask questions that might help them better understand their husband/partner. Sometimes just knowing that the reactions they are seeing are not necessarily unique, helps moms be able to be a little more patient and willing to approach their communication a little differently. I look forward to hearing from you.

I bought your pamphlet after our twins died over a year ago. Out of everything we read, my husband felt that your words were the ones that most spoke to him. Thank you for putting out something- small, simple, and meaningful- for dads who are not only dealing with the feelings of their wives, but also suffer their own, unique grief.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michele ... I am really glad that "A Guide For Fathers" was helpful to your husband. It was written purely from the standpoint of recalling what information I wish I had access to. Thanks for taking the time to write!
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how much I appreciate this site and hope you can help. My husband and I lost our little girl seven weeks ago at two weeks overdue. We have been really close and it has helped just being together but he can't talk to me. He doesn't want to hurt me by letting me see what is in his head but he is so much pain and can only lie awake for hours at night and I am desperate to help him. I want to understand what is happening in his head and how I can help him, how I can make him understand that he doesn't have to be silent and that If he can't talk to me he needs to talk to someone. He is computer shy to say the least and dyslexic so would not use written resouces. I just need help to understand what is best to do to help him. Ann
