facing it together

Women don't die of miscarriage but they do need your practical help and emotional support. Even capable women are often in such shock, both emotionally and physically, that they may need you to make decisions in an area that is normally their domain. Clear communication between the two of you is essential at this time, to check that she is comfortable with your decisions.

  "Perhaps men don't acknowledge what has happened because they are afraid it will really hurt too much. Emotionally, we are not equipped to deal with it. Men don't easily deal with their sadness and pain. We believe, being brave up front will give our wife/partner strength, when really what they need is our compassion and empathy." Mark
