Hi, my name is Kelly and I'm the host of the Miscarriage Dads podcast, and I wanted to bring you a few updates about what we've accomplished, where we are and where we are headed. First and foremost, the Miscarriage Dads podcast turns one in October of this year and it's incredible to think that we have been going on for an entire year since we launched in October of last year. So why did we launch October of last year? We launched in October because it coincided with Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month us celebrate our one year anniversary. We would love to know how the Miscarriage Dads podcast has benefited you along your journey of grief and healing after loss to miscarriage. So you can send us your story at themiscarriagedad at gmailcom so that we can share it with our larger community throughout the entire month of October. Again, the email is themiscarriagedad at gmailcom. Also, because October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we want to highlight those of you who are raising awareness about this event in your communities. However you're bringing awareness, we would love to highlight your story and the ways that you are making an impact in your community. So, again, you can send us a request to be a part of our show and have a conversation with Chris and I at themiscarriagedad at gmailcom, or if you simply just want to send us a line or two or a paragraph about the work that you are doing, we would be honored to also share your resource with our larger community.

I'm also excited to share that a resource that has dads in mind is on the horizon, and it's called Miscarriage Support for Dads. So Miscarriage Support for Dads is my response to the lack of support and the lack of resources available for men like you and I. So what is Miscarriage Support for Dads? Miscarriage Support for Dads is a service that is designed to provide a comprehensive support and guidance to male clients who are experiencing the emotional complexities of miscarriage. Basically, it recognizes all of the societal challenges that impacts the way that we share our experience and process through our feelings, and so, through one-on-one support, group settings and other mediums, miscarriage Support for Dads aims to equip men with proper tools in order for us to process our experience of miscarriage, our experience of miscarriage, to build resilience along the way and even help us find vocabulary to communicate more effectively with our partners during this incredibly difficult time. So currently the website is under construction, but if you visit wwwmiscarriagedadscom wwwmiscarriagedadscom you can sign up for updates for when the website goes completely live. Also, while you're at it, you can subscribe to the YouTube channel Miscarriage Support for Dads, and you can follow the Miscarriage Support for Dads Instagram page, as well as the Miscarriage Dads podcast Instagram account.

Lastly, none of this would be possible if it was not for your engagement, for your support and for your participation, and so I wanted to say thank you for believing in two guys who decided to turn on the microphone and the camera and share our story about how miscarriage impacted us, and for trusting us to guide you through the worst possible phase of your life, as you try to construct a family or as you try to expand the family.

The Miscarriage Dads and, by virtue, the miscarriage support for dads community is, first and foremost, an unfortunate community, because none of us wanted to go through this event and none of us wanted to experience this pain.

Speaker 1: 4:34

Yet, on the other hand, it has brought me personally so much comfort and it has helped me continue to process my own grief and my own stuff, although I am on the other end of my miscarriage experiences, and so thank you for trusting us, thank you for believing in us, thank you for supporting us. We look forward to bringing you more creative content. We look forward to bringing you more informative content for the next year and if there are any topics that you want to hear Chris and I's opinion about or you would like to hear us discuss, or perhaps if we're not the right person to discuss it and you want to come and have a conversation with us, you feel like you have something that would be of value to the larger community. Again, the email is themiscarriagedad at gmailcom. Once again, thank you so much for all that you have done for Chris and I, and we are so excited to continue on this journey, right there alongside you as you try to figure out how to make sense of things as a result of a very, very devastating loss.
