Father Rant

While a father a meant to put on an outward display of strength, inside we are as heartbroken as any parent would be over the loss of a child. We experience the same stages of grief as anyone else, even if we do not show it. However, society often focuses on the mother and meeting her needs, but fathers need support as well in order to heal from the loss of our child, and our need to be allowed to grieve on our terms.
