Fathers of Loss
Supporting dads through the heartbreak and devastation of the death of their baby or child
Fathers of Loss is a new support series from Red Nose and proudly supported by Sydney2CAMberra, made especially for dads.
So often, dads are overlooked when their baby or child dies. They are asked ‘how’s your partner,’ regularly, but friends and family often forget to ask how they are.
Fathers of Loss highlights that dads grieve too and need their friends, family, and the wider community to support them.
It’s ok to ask for help, and Red Nose is here for dads 24/7, now and for as long as they need us.
