Many women do not receive the support they need after having a miscarriage. We underestimate the distress and grief many women experience after such a loss, and it would be fair to say that we pay even less attention to the emotional experiences of their partners. A story on BBC News highlights the issues many fathers face after miscarriage and points out several resources that provide emotional support to fathers after pregnancy loss.
Two British fathers, Liam Preston and Matt Dearsley, found that there were no resources specifically directed to fathers who were grieving after pregnancy loss; they started a podcast called Dad Still Standing. Here are links to their podcast.
The Lily Mae Foundation, an organization supporting families after pregnancy loss, offer specific support for Dads.
