Welcome to Fathers Forever, a 15-year-old organization of and for men who have experienced the death of their child.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Fathers Forever’s mission is 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.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n
