Chris Jones says the Daddys with Angels charity 'helped me more than I can say' after his bereavement.
A father of stillborn twins has told how a charity helping dads affected by baby loss has supported him.
Christopher Jones's daughters Harper and Lily were delivered in the 26th week of his partner Susie's pregnancy earlier this year.Mr Jones said Daddys with Angels, a charity based in Wigan, had "helped me more than I can say".Mr Jones said the charity had offered invaluable support, describing it as "a brotherhood" and "a family"."Everybody understands. I don't think I'd be here.
"I'm an ex military man, ex prison officer, you name it I've done what are supposed to be strong jobs out there.He said he was helped by the the charity's original founder Paul Scully-Sloan. "Luckily, Paul got me when he did because sometimes dads just think there's only one way out and there isn't," he said.He said losing a child was "isolating" and "devastating" for fathers who are told by society they are "the strong ones and they don't need help" and that was not true.
"The first battle is to open up the communication lines and from there we start to help them on the healing process," Mr Hill said.'My son was suffering with headaches and wanted to sleep all the time... a trip to Specsavers saved his life'We tried Manchester's hearty new Mexican spot and will be back in a hurry to try genius menu item
