Miscarriage is a tragedy that strikes many
expecting mother's every year. However, one area that can often
times go overlooked is the impact it has on the fathers. That is
why we are so blessed to welcome singer-songwriter Brian Parker to
this heartfelt episode of Music for the Soul.
Brian opens up about his personal journey through
grief after experiencing a miscarriage as a husband. He shares how
music helped him walk through the grief of loss and how a black and
white dragonfly became his inspiration to write a song about both
loss and rebirth called Dragonfly. Throughout the whole experience
of walking through this period of grief, Brian reminds men that
it's important for them to seek support during that period of loss
and explains different ways they can be there to support their
wives in a compassionate way without having the "fix it"
mindset.
Today's episode is an inspiring conversation about
resilience, the true depths of God's love, and the transformative
power of music that allows us to walk through even the darkest
moments like miscarriage with a message of new life and
rebirth.
