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
