Mr Kizis-Stevens said it was important for anyone who had suffered a similar bereavement to try to seek help from family, friends or specialist groups.
He said the unexpected loss of their baby had been harrowing and led him to contact the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity (Sands) to set up a local football team to give men more opportunities to talk about their bereavement.
“The reality is there’s quite limited support for men, particularly around baby loss,” he said.
“I’m sure there’s plenty of men who could come to the football, but just don’t know it’s out there.
“There needs to be an understanding that men do grieve differently to women and need a different kind of support.”
