Dr. John Braccio and Dave Akerly discuss on 1320 WILS AM- It is safe to say there is not enough discussion in our society on the impact of a miscarriage on a woman. Even more so it is true with a man. Men also feel horrible about the miscarriage as do women. Men often must subsume their feelings in support of their partners who have had the miscarriage and all the accompanying psychological and physical effects. Their success varies in each situation and it depends on the level of understanding and communication that exists between them. The key is to focus on the present painful feelings in a process to improve them. Sadly,men too often do not work to psychologically overcome their own wounded feelings and related potential psychological problems. These would include: 1.Not discussing the impact of the miscarriage. 2.Focusing on the needs of the partner and not self which can be as painful and life disrupting. 3.Not knowing how to talk to the partner in an appropriate manner. 4.Others will talk to him about how to help the partner and not him. 5.Does not seek out professional help. 6.Does not communicate with partner about the feelings he may have to not always discussing the miscarriage in an open,honest and sensitive manner. 7.Not able to understand their own overwhelming feelings of depression,guilt and anger by trying to ignore and/or suppress them with activities and any other thoughts. 8.Substance abuse is also a potential problem…As a psychologist for many years,I have worked with many individual men devastated by a miscarriage.
