The Single Fathers Due to Cancer Support Group – Finding Their Way Together


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Justin Yopp, psychologist at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital, draws upon his work and co-authored book, The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life, to share the story of young fathers who lose their spouses to terminal illness and must take up the challenge of raising their grieving children. Given men don't usually seek group help after loss, this is an unusual and emotionally powerful story of a men's group, "The Single Fathers Due to Cancer Support Group." Dr. Justin Yopp discusses the collaboration he and his co-leader have with the group, the magnitude of the men's shared loss, their similar and different stories, the bond they unexpectedly forge, the responses of their children, and their steps to reimagine their lives. Underscoring this window into the group is a clarification of theory relative to bereavement, depression, children's needs, and post-traumatic growth. You will be incredibly moved and informed by this shared men's group experience.
