    About this ebook

    Father in Crisis: The Invisible Child carries you from the emergency room, home to the empty nursery, revealing the hidden shadows of miscarriage from a father’s perspective. Dr. Burt Wilbur shares from the perspective of a father of three invisible children lost over the span of 30 years, to equip others in dealing with the trauma of miscarriage. Portions of this writing have been used by county health departments, ministers, and a ministry helping couples with fertility issues over the last 30 years. Counselors, clergy, and laity should find this informative and insightful in ministering to Fathers in Crisis. Dr. Wilbur seeks to tactfully deal with cultural issues that complicate understanding miscarriage and the trauma caused at the loss of an invisible child.

      Chapter I: Introduction

      True ministry calls for someone to minister to or care for a hurting soul in this case a Father in Crisis. Many seem to miss the great need for ministering to the father in crisis. Children of miscarriage are truly the invisible children who are never held and often for whom parents find it difficult to find closure in their loss. Acknowledging the loss of the invisible child recognizes this true and traumatic crisis. Have you ever wondered, What happens within the heart of a father when told his wife has had a miscarriage? I believe there are four major areas of concern:

      Care and Protection of His Wife

      Getting Beyond the Crisis
