About Silent Grief Podcast

Those of us who have lost children and loved ones are grieving in silence. The average time off for bereavment is only three days. Life is expected to go on as if nothing happened. There is an expectation to move on and not bring up our dead child's name. This podcast offers comfort for people who have lost children. We will break the silence and share our difficulties with living without our beloved children. But we don't just share difficulties, our stories are also bound up in hope!

   Episode 85 | Marriage, male grief, and finding hope after loss with Matthew and Colleen Wright (Part 1)

   When pregnancy ends abruptly in miscarriage, couples are often thrust into a silent, disorienting wilderness. Between dismissiveness from doctors, the shock of lost dreams, and the deafening isolation that follows, the weight of baby loss can feel impossible to carry—especially when compounded by career upheaval, military transition, or life-threatening health crises. For fathers and husbands, that grief carries a unique, unspoken sting: the agony of helplessness when the instinct to protect your wife and family is stripped away. In Part 1 of this special two-part conversation—the very first guest interview on the Silent Grief Podcast—we sit down with longtime friends Matthew ("Feej") and Colleen Wright. Matthew, a former US Army combat aviator, and Colleen share their deeply personal journey through the sudden loss of their fourth baby in 2016, the emotional and physical toll of an unresolved missed miscarriage, and Matthew's raw struggle with grief, control, and denial as a protector. They open up about facing an overlapping kidney cancer diagnosis and an infertility prognosis, the miraculous prayer that defied the medical odds, and why true faith anchors us through tragedy without superficial prosperity promises.In Part 1 of this conversation, the Wrights share: Confronting the clinical, dismissive attitudes often encountered in medical care during a miscarriage The prolonged physical and emotional trauma of missed miscarriages and delayed surgical intervention The husband's perspective: dismantling the cultural pressure on men to suppress grief and pretend loss never happened The emotional courage required to name a miscarried child and acknowledge that joy and grief can coexist Navigating the vulnerability of public pregnancy announcements and discovering unexpected peer support in shared sorrow Clinging to God when crises collide: enduring a kidney cancer diagnosis alongside pregnancy loss Matthew's journal prayer, Colleen's subsequent pregnancy, and reframing answered prayers without prosperity theology Special Thanks to Our Sponsor: Wright Farm Coffee RoastersWhen grief drains your energy, creating small anchors of morning stillness and comfort restores the soul.
