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.
