Sometimes it's the small things that count
In the last couple of days, this blog has seen new posts from fathers who have pointed to either another person's comment or a poem that has helped them feel not so alone. When you express your feelings -- whether it be as a comment or in the form of poetry -- your words undoubtedly not only help relieve some of your own stress, but touch others you will never know about. Thank you to all who have done that here and I hope you will share with others what has helped you most in making it through your grief.

"The best moments in reading are when you come across something- a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things- that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here is it, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." - The History Boys

Thank you for being here for the bereaved father's. I know that when my partner is ready to reach out, he will be relieved to find baby loss dad's like you.
Please help.
ReplyDeleteMy boss lost his child in a stillbirth about 6 weeks ago. I am a relatively new employee but he's a great boss and I've been miserable. My friends are telling me that buying him a meaningful gift is inappropriate. I'm miserable not doing anything to acknowledge what he's going through, but they're saying that men don't like to have their weakness acknowledged. If that's true, then I will try to let it be, knowing that he has friends and family and does not need me to step in. Any advice?
After losing my child, I thought it was the end of the world. I began to isolate myself from my husband and friends, it turned into a very unhealthy lifestyle. I began seeking out help to overcome my loss and I am find http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-dl to be comforting because they provide steps to help me manage my grief. I definitely recommend anyone going through the same to take look.
DeleteI did a good bit of journaling with our miscarriages. At one point I even wrote a song. Here's a link to part of my journal, and the song, from a blog that I recently contributed to.
