Dads

I have noticed over the years, there are very few resources for the Dads. I find that particularly awful. Dads are the unsung heroes, they usually hold it all together and rarely show their grief. They answer endless questions about how the Mom is doing, they field phone calls, and try their best to care for the Moms. But inside they are just as heartbroken as we are. They lost their baby too. Somehow, the outside world doesn't acknowledge that. Some Dads like to grieve privately or seem to keep it all inside, but I think they too would like to be asked how they are handling it all.
 Recently I have found some new sites for Dad by Dads. It is so important for a Dad to know they are not alone, somewhere there is another Dad feeling the same way, missing their child. As with Moms, it is important and reassuring to know another person has felt as you have. Dads need just as much love and support as Moms, even if they don't outwardly show it.
