Welcome to love from dad
Love From Dad is designed to be the website that I looked for as a dad, but could never find in the days after our daughter passed away in 2022. A website full of resources to assist and help you find your feet in the days, weeks, months and years after the devastating loss of something so close to your heart, your child. Love From Dad has been designed to help you to find and build your own community to help you through the grief that accompanies pregnancy or child loss.
Love From Dad's Unspoken Journeys Blog also gives dads and non-birthing partners a space they have never truly had, but also one that maybe they didn’t know they needed. A space to tell your story. A space to read other peoples stories. There can be comfort taken from knowing that you are not alone and there are others in your community and all around the world just like you trying to navigate this world that you have so cruely found yourself a part of.
Love From Dad belongs to you
Love From Dad, it’s for you. It’s a safe space to speak your child’s name or to tell your story in your words knowing that it will help you and help others longing for a connection. Fertility issues to Early Pregnancy Loss and Miscarriage, TFMR, Stillbirth, Neonatal, Accidental and Infant Death, through to SIDS and SUDI- they all deserve the same respect and have it in this space.
If you would like to share your story or be added to this website as a resource for other dads and partners please get in contact via Email or Instagram.
The inspiration for Love From Dad, is a beautiful little girl called Wren Frances McConnell. Wren's story is in the Unspoken Journeys page along with other beautifully written amazing stories for you to read and connect with. This platform has been created to help you in finding your community and to make connection with others. I hope that Love From Dad can help you like it as helped me, Wrens Dad.
Dear Wren,This is created in your memory.Love From Mum & Dad
