Welcome

Welcome to Fathers Forever, a new non-profit organization for and by men who have experienced the death of their child.

Fathers Forever is not a ‘therapy’ group. Rather, we are survivors of a uniquely traumatic loss who have chosen to channel our energy, pain and hope into something constructive.

As an organization, we are in our formative stage, so our agenda is still taking shape. Generally speaking, we envision Fathers Forever’s mission as part fellowship; part advancing research/understanding of what fathers experience (vs. mothers) upon the death of a child (there’s virtually no literature specific to this topic); and part “education” and empathy for men living through it, regardless of where they may be on the path.

Thank you for visiting our site; we appreciate your interest. For those of you who unfortunately are members of the Fathers Forever “fraternity”, please participate to whatever degree you feel comfortable. You are welcome here.
