Join us for a hope-filled conversation with Eric Schumacher, author of Ours: Biblical Comfort for Men Grieving Miscarriage. After experiencing multiple miscarriages in his marriage, Eric felt called to write a book for fellow dads, encouraging them to grieve alongside their wives. He journeys through the Gospel of Luke to lead dads to Jesus.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • Compounded grief, how it impacts us, and why we need to grieve well
  • Does time heal all wounds?
  • The different components of loss and how we experience them over time
  • Sanctification in the midst of grief
  • Jesus as a friend and how He showed us it's okay to show emotion
  • Why don't we blame Satan for our loss?
  • Nothing is outside God's control
  • God is the only solution to our pain
  • Why we should read the Gospels and run to Jesus
  • Practical ways for fathers to grieve
  • How a husband can support his wife (even when he can't fix it)
  • An explanation of a father's grief timeline after pregnancy loss
  • Sharing grief in marriage, even when spouses grieve differently
