dead baby daddy blogs?
Dead baby dad's don't really talk much. I've yet to find a book exclusively dedicated to dead baby daddies, and the few web related things I've found have been dad's that are writing on behalf of their partners: how can I understand, or help, my dead baby momma?
This is all fine and good, infact, it's all very noble, but how are you? What's troubling you? Why haven't you been compelled to express your own feelings? If for no other reason, I'd like to hear your thoughts.
I can't be the only dead baby daddy that's been a wreck. I can't be the only one who's compelled to tell my story.
Let me know if you've got anything out there.
PS. For anyone who's peeking in, the David Hansen Play I Hate This is pure genious. Really the only compelling still born father story that I've come across.It really captured many aspects of my own experiance. Plus, David's just a gem of a man.

Hi,
I'm new to your blog, so I'm not sure if this was mentioned before, but there was an article in the June issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine (Goldie Hawn on the front) called "Loving Lucy". It is written by the father of a baby lost at 7 months. It was really sad but enlightening to see a father's perspective. Check the stores, the issue may still be for sale.

kelly, i'm so sorry for your losses. i'm not sure what b/g is - i'm lost with all the perinatal abbreviations.
thanks for the tip on the article. we're looking into getting the article from the publishing company.

I had Steve read your post and I'm hoping it will motivate him to post/write a bit. Keep your fingers crossed. I think he needs it, but he never listens to me anyway, so why start now? lol
I'll give this to Marc, but I kind of doubt he will write anything. He's just strong for me and then every now and then will kind of have a breakdown and freak out.
justin, i feel so lucky to be with someone who is so involved in our child's life and death. you're a great father.
