One of the things that happened when we lost our child is that I realised that often Dad's are sometimes hurting as much but dont seem to get the same support. Whilst the physical loss is felt by the mother the emotional turmoil can be just as severe or worse for the father.
In our case it took a while for me to have closure not seeing my child going to full term. What happened however was that a close friend who lost their child al lot further along the term than I did showed me pictures of their stillborn. I was able to close that chapter and to minister to him and other men.
Jesus knows our propensity for pain and he knows that while Mom's go through an almighty sense of loss with miscarriage that even though we may be silent or just suportive sometimes Dad's need an outlet and closure too.
