"I am excited that there is a humble, God-fearing, Scripture-informed, and gospel-loving brother who has walked before you and who is willing to bear his soul so that you may find comfort and hope in your loss." - Paul David Tripp
Miscarriage is not only a mother's grief. Fathers hurt too.
In Dads Hurt Too: A Father's Memoir of Miscarriage, author Eric M. Schumacher opens his heart about his journey through loss. With honesty, humility, and hope, he puts words to a sorrow many men silently carry yet rarely name.
Miscarriage often leaves fathers feeling overlooked, expected to be strong for their wives, uncertain of how to express their own pain, and unsure of where to find comfort. Eric gently reminds dads that they are not alone and that their grief matters. He invites them to bring their broken hearts to the God who welcomes the weary, draws near to the brokenhearted, and promises resurrection through Jesus Christ.
Short, accessible, and written for immediate comfort, this little book is designed to be placed into a father's hands in the raw hours and weeks after loss. It offers space to lament, words of gospel hope, and encouragement for walking with a hurting wife while processing a father's own grief.
With a heartfelt foreword by Paul David Tripp and an appendix by Jenny Schumacher, this resource extends compassionate, gospel-shaped wisdom for both men and women touched by miscarriage.
Whether you are a grieving dad, a family member, a friend, or a church leader who wants to care well for fathers after miscarriage, Dads Hurt Too is a compassionate guide. It points beyond clichés to the lasting comfort of Christ, who entered our suffering, bore our sorrows, and promises to make all things new.
