Miscarriage, Child Loss, and the Grief of Fathers

March 18, 2024
Today we sit down with Patrick O'Hearn and Bryan Feger, co-authors of "The Grief of Dads: Support and Hope for Catholic Fathers Navigating Child Loss." to discuss the loss of a child and the lasting effects it has on men. Drawing from their personal experiences of enduring multiple miscarriages, Patrick and Bryan offer a poignant exploration of the often-overlooked grief experienced by fathers in the wake of child loss. In this heartfelt conversation, they delve into the emotional, physical, and spiritual journey of fathers navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, and the loss of a child of any age, shedding light on the unique challenges they face and the support they need. If you have experienced this loss, you have our prayers, if you know someone that has, please share this episode with them.Today we discuss a great plan to not only improve and become like Christ this Lent, but also a strategy to continue as a new man this Easter and beyond. We discuss man's need for temptation and how Satan gains entrance into our lives. We unpack why you need to know the tactics of Satan, how understanding this can provide clarity in your lives, and how you can be battle-ready to protect yourself against his attacks.
