Forgotten Father

The death of a child is devastating. Parents find much difficulty in coping with this kind of tragedy. However, men in our culture are taught not to express emotion, and their feelings are often overlooked as they try to be the strong male figure that does not fall apart. Women can express themselves better, but the men feel as great a sorrow and have no outlet for the grief they feel.


Birdsong welcomes Gary Roen, author of Forgotten Father. This book explores the feeings of a father who lived through the tragedy and tells the story of the impact it has on him.


We\'ll also get Birdsong\'s take on the Good, Bad and Ugly news of the week, including a historic win in Florida for Andrew Gillum in the race for Governor, the passing of Senator John McCain and the deadly shooting at a video game tournament.
