→Denial of loss: Add quotation.
|accessdate=2020-07-29
}}</ref> Failure to grieve one's loss may leave one permanently stuck in the first stage of grief which is denial of loss. Men who have failed to grieve the loss of their [[foreskin]] and its [http://www.intactaus.org/information/functionsoftheforeskin/ functions] may not want an intact boy with a foreskin around to remind them of what they have lost, so such an individual may adamantly insist that any son be circumcised.
It is very difficult for a father in denial of loss to protect a son from circumcision. One father exclaimed, "''What was so difficult in leaving my son intact was not that my son would feel different in a locker room, but that I would feel different from him. I would then have to accept that I'm an amputee from the wars of a past generation.''"
