I have met a wonderful woman in Arizona, at the MISS Foundation Conference that experienced the death of her 9 year old daughter.
Her husband wrote a book titled: A Father's Grief
I have been able to read parts of this, and would like to post this information for fathers...

Heartworks - A Father's Grief (http://www.heart-work-publishing.com/)
These gentle words and breathtaking photographs will warm any heart. A book into which the author pours his very heart and soul, "Heart Works" explores the paralyzing depths of grief, the awesome power of love and the light of hope from a man's perspective. However, whether a man or a woman, you will find comfort in these writings. This book is written by a father and speaks of his love for his daughter and the ways in which her death has changed him. This is a book for all, not only the bereaved, because it allows one to truly consider their own lives, their loves, their disappointments and heartaches. This book will embrace you.

I have also had the privelege to meet Tim Nelson at the MISS Foundation Conference in Arizona, co founder of A Place to Remember.

Tim Nelson (http://www.aplacetoremember.com/mall/prod_detail.asp?catID=1&prodID=726)
The author of "A Father's Story" and co-founder of A Place To Remember, Timothy Nelson, has published his long-awaited "A Guide For Fathers." This small pocket-sized guide lays out the basic information that a man needs to know when his child dies--and does so in no-nonsense, easy to read, non-flowery language.

Brad and Nina Stetson's journey through and beyond the death of their infant son B.J. after 8 months of pregnancy, is candid and moving, capturing the Stetsons' experience before B.J.'s birth, his baptism, burial, and the bereavement processes that allowed them to move beyond the sorrow.
