• Child Loss,  Differences with Male/Female Grief

    Men and Women Grieve Child Loss Differently

    If you have suffered the loss of a child, then you know that men and women grieve very differently.  This difference between the way we grieve has caused much additional pain to a couple already feeling alone, lost, and often without hope.  So many times, a woman will shout out in despair to the father of her child saying, “You don’t care about this loss!  You don’t show any emotions at all.  I need you to hold me, to cry with me, and to tell me how much you miss our child!”  The father remains silent with a puzzled look on his face.
