Miscarriage and Marriage: Helping Your Husband Grieve Pregnancy Loss Too
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes after miscarriage, it can feel like you and your husband are grieving in completely different ways.
You may be carrying the physical loss, the emotions, and the questions every single day… while he seems quiet, distant, or focused on everything else that needs to get done.
But what if he is grieving too, just differently?
In this episode of the Purpose Beyond Motherhood Podcast, Nicole sits down with author Eric Schumacher for an honest conversation about miscarriage, marriage, and the grief fathers often carry silently.
We talk about:
- Why men and women often grieve differently after pregnancy loss
- How to create space for honest conversations in marriage
- What husbands may be feeling but struggling to say out loud
- Practical ways couples can support each other through grief
- How faith, lament, and the hope of Christ meet us in loss
Eric also shares biblical encouragement for couples walking through miscarriage and reminds grieving parents that their baby mattered, their grief matters, and they do not have to carry it alone.
This conversation is gentle, honest, and deeply validating for both mothers and fathers navigating loss.
