Grief Support for Widowed Fathers

Even though everyone’s grief journey is unique, there are still expectations and preconceived notions for how someone is supposed to grieve. “How can I be strong? Am I grieving right? Is it okay to feel this way?” These are some of the things that men as widowed fathers can think and feel throughout their grief.

Today’s Grief Refuge podcast episode is an interview with Dr. Justin Yopp, psychologist and member of the UNC Comprehensive Cancer Support Program at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital. Justin shares a conversation with Reid about some of the stereotypes, emotions, and approaches to grieving that men as widowed fathers endure.
