    Unless you’ve endured the journey of infertility and /or infant loss, it is impossible to fully understand and appreciate the gift this man has given us through his vulnerability and openness and by sharing his story and his grief with us in such an honest way. I’m so thankful I came across this video today.

    I went through a miscarriage with my ex 7 months ago. And it still hurts too this day. There’s always “what if’s” and what hurt the most was my ex didn’t even want our baby. So she left me when she miscarried.. but I am fine about that now. I let her go. But this precious baby, my baby. The pain never truly goes away. I still cry, but I do my best to honour the life that could have been my baby. By succeeding in my goals. And its okay to cry. Sorry I don’t mean to get deep. Just thought I’d share

    I lost my daughter, our first child, when we were at 6 weeks. We had no way of knowing for sure it was a girl, but I knew. I'd dreamt of her. Had a dream about 2 days before we lost her. I saw her whole life. I saw her be born. Saw her face, just like her mother's. Saw her grow up and go to school for the first time. Dance, play, dance again. She was an energetic little girl. I saw her grow into a beautiful young woman and saw her in a dress. I remember very few dreams, but I remember that dream vividly. Ever aspect of it was as real to me as a memory.
    When we lost her, my wife was hurt badly. I comforted her as best I could. But I was broken, utterly and entirely. I did what I could, and my wife has healed a great deal. But that part of me that broke, it hasn't healed. Even now, with my son being born and another son on the way... I still cry every few days for the daughter I never got to hold. To this day I know that part of me will forever be broken. I'll always grieve her. I'll always hate this world for taking her from me.
    She was everything to me. I was in a very dark place when we found out we were going to have a baby. She was my lifeline. My wife had done all she could, but I wanted to die at that point in my life. When we found out about Myrtle, it gave me a hope I hadn't had in a long time. And that hope was torn away from me 6 weeks later. I held on for my wife, bit it brought me to a point that I held a gun to my head for over 3 hours trying to pull the trigger. I didn't. I still have that bullet but I've sold the gun.
    I won't let this destroy me. I refuse to. I've got my wife, and I've got my 2 sons. And one day I'll see my daughter. And when that day comes I will hold her, and I will make sure she knows how much she is loved and missed.
    I love you Darlin, I love you sunshine.
    I love you Myrtle.

    "There's only two times a man can cry: when his father dies, and when his team loses." - my brother, when I was 13.
    I lost a child at week 17. I didn't think I could cry. 16 years later it still hurts.
    If there is a god, he gave us this man as a gift and a blessing.

    My wife just miscarried a few days ago. We were at 6 weeks, so it was still early, but it still hurts. I put my own feelings off for this whole time to focus on her until my boss noticed something was up and forced me to take the rest of the week off. I’m frustrated; at first, I didn’t feel anything, and then it slowly piled up on me. I still haven’t been able to cry, but I just feel dead inside; I can barely even eat. I’m not sure what to do aside from comfort my wife.

    First off, Mr. Farley, my heart goes out to you and your wife. I hope you know so many men who have suffered or are suffering are with you and supporting you. My wife and I lost Cody at 6 months into our pregnancy. We thought we were in the clear for a healthy birth because we passed the first trimester. It rocked our lives, our marriage, and our perspective on life. We had already lost twins at 14 weeks before that and had promised ourselves we wouldn't get our hopes up until after the 1st trimester. When we lost Cody it was so hard. Not only was it hard supporting my wife through the loss but it was so hard to realize that it was ok for me to need help too. Luckily I am an emotional guy and my friends know it so when I asked for help they were all there for me. To those of you out there who think your friends won't be there for you, think again. Even if they don't understand it, reach out to them and know the love that surrounds you. Secondly, one of the hardest things for me was realizing that the future I built in my mind for my unborn child want not going to come true. A really good friend of mine suggested that we take Cody's ashes and go do the things I had imagined for his future. I won't lie to you, it was HARD. But, the outcome was such a relief. I made unfinished dreams come to life with the child I would never get to have. And in some way, it was so healing to do this with him even if it was just his ashes. I am still tearing up as I write this because the loss was really hard but my hope is if I can help another father who's heart for his unborn child he lost is as big as mine, maybe I can help a father through their loss. Thank you so much Mr. Farley for posting this video and bringing awareness to the issue.

    I also lost my baby, I always wanted to be a father, prayed and prayed, My girl got pregnant, I was so happy, it was like a dream, and she was gone as quick as she came our baby girl, I felt she was a girl. It is hard to go outside and see other young fathers with their babies. I am happy for them and jealous too. Why not me? I am a good person. I am a teacher and work with kids,this is hard when little children hug me, I dream of my own child hugging me. It's the second child I lost. It is hard, I feel empty inside. I cry when I am alone. But I still have faith ,I really try.

    I was supposed to have a little girl on September 30, 2018. The mother and I had broken up by the time she told me about the baby. We lost the baby on March 2. Only until now 3 years later have I been able to process the pain of that loss. After the loss, I covered up my grief with rage and politics. I still ask myself and God what I could've done different. Emotions I've repressed for years are bubbling to the surface and it's tearing me apart. I am not financially ready for children but I would gladly trade my life so my lil Saiorse could live. I am crying as I type this. I wouldn't have been the best dad in world but I would've done my damnedest.

    My wife and I just lost our baby three weeks ago…. Even though it’s so fresh in our memories, I know with all my heart I will love that baby forever. We didn’t know gender, she was only 10’weeks, but as a first time father…. I finally felt what unconditional love meant. It wasn’t even a question, more a gut reaction. “I love this child and my wife” is the best way i can describe it. The loss is more pain than I ever thought was possible….. my wife is the true hero in this. The positive mindset and attitude she puts forth everyday is what makes me the luckiest man in the world. We will try again, and we will get to meet our children… And they will be told about their sibling!!❤ thank you for sharing your story sir, truly helped this grieving father

We are forever changed and we cannot go back to the guy we were before, but we need to find our new normal, to do something that is bigger than ourselves. What you have done and continue to do today is amazing and much needed.
