My husband and I lost our son on August 2, 2013 at 26 days old and he loves this poem. It is so true and I feel so bad for fathers on this horrible journey. I see how often they are ignored.

Grandma has been very surprised to see this poem show up all over the place. It's amazing!

A man is not suppose to cry or candidly express his sadness and sorrow. I hurt everyday. She gets so mad at me because I can not get a hold on this grief. We have grown apart and its like she is blaming me because we lost *our* child. Sorry for your loss and sorry your son is going through this alone. I know distinctively how he feels. I can not envision having to cope with such a loss and cancer. I indentify with your son's longing for his wife and friends to embrass<br />him if only for a minute. I pray a lot and I will<br />say a prayer for your son and ask that you pray for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307820868878885515.post-90716544010830173692012-05-17T09:43:31.042-05:002012-05-17T09:43:31.042-05:00HELP!!!!!

Since Sept he grief is so heavy that I can not get him to do anything anymore. He rarely even leaves his house and most of the time he is in his bedroom. I do on occations, get him to go the a store or somewhere for a few hours, he always breaks down and wants to return home. All of his so call friends have abbandon him. I think its because he is always so sad and they do not know how to handle it. He does not havea support system . I am constantly trying to get either his faimly or friends to help him with very little response. Thye just say he should man up and accept life as it is. Before he was diagnosed with cancer(2008) he was very active socialbly and physically . He had lots and lots of friends. After 2008, he was unable to continue his his normal activities. But most of friends stuck arround. However, now he handling the death of his daugheter , he stands alone. I just found a poem he wrote about how alone he feels. He does have a wife and an older daughter, but in their own grief and their own everyday life he is still alone. I wish they had a big brother orginazation for something like this. He needs help from other grieving dads. I know this sounds complicated but Im tryng to keep my son alive. I sometimes feel that I am the only one that is trying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307820868878885515.post-35325534412445272622012-02-29T07:36:03.408-06:002012-02-29T07:36:03.408-06:00As a father and husband we put our feeling second ...As a father and husband we put our feeling second and family and friends dont realized that a part of has passed away as well .Griving Fatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547998820172436227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307820868878885515.post-38674426650935708082012-02-02T03:07:21.154-06:002012-02-02T03:07:21.154-06:00This blog is great source of information which is ...This blog is great source of information which is very useful for me.

It isn't so much that I "can't" grieve, as my wife and friends are a tremendous support; but simply- I lost what was to be our second child and a sister to our 5 yr old son about 2 hours ago. The last line says it for me. I lost a baby too. This is way hard.

She wrote this poem to her son‐in‐law after his baby girl was stillborn. In parallel, fathers that are told that their beloved child is diagnosed with a disability, also have to cope with the tremendous loss of expectations and dreams he once held. May we encourage all readers to offer your support to these fathers.Lisettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486760107232191431noreply@blogger.com
