DADS/PARTNERS

Sometimes dads/partners are left out of the grieving and processing experience because the loss didn't happen to their bodies. However, dads/partners feel many things: the loss of growing the family, feeling helpless about what is happening to their partner, traumatized watching their partner go through the physical and emotional loss, and so much more.
