Abstract

This narrative is a story of the author’s experience of miscarriage from a father’s perspective combined with his role as an insider researcher qualitatively studying men’s experiences of miscarriage. The author explores the dimensions of being an insider and outsider in the role of a father of miscarried children as well as in the role of a researcher. This is also a story of discovering how disenfranchised death separates us and has the potential to connect us. Lastly, this is a revelation about the unexpected disconnection that stems from being an insider
researcher.
