A fathers grief

Men usually deal with grief differently to their partners. One woman’s husband bought her a necklace with a cross, a heart and a teddy bear for their 3 miscarriages. They later had children. Another’s partner felt he had to be strong and not show emotion, just support his wife. To deal with his own feelings he went windsurfing to be able to release his grief in an acceptable environment. She never forgave him for what she considered a frivolous action. Communication is vital.
