Miscarriage

Last year, right before Shavuot, my wife had a traumatic second-trimester miscarriage.

I debated whether to write about the experience for quite some time, but decided that I would share my thoughts–from a not often heard father’s perspective–in the hope that it might bring those who share this all too common loss a measure of nechama (comfort).

Here is the article I wrote, published at Tablet Magazine.

  1. Dear Yosef,

    Your perspective, which reveals that which has been hiding in full sight from me and I am sure many others, is powerfully insightful and hauntingly beautiful. “Sinai’s glory and grandeur…its shards and shivers, its splinters and its slivers.”

    Honestly, I can’t think of an appropriate way to sign off.
