When I lost my baby, knowing that it happens to many women helped me not blame myself. I kept thinking crazy things like: maybe I was putting to much pressure on my stomach while I was doing the dishes. Maybe there is too much caffeine in decaf coffee. Maybe it was having my phone near by. Knowing that this is a very common thing helped me not blame myself. I also found comfort with the other women in church who had gone through the same thing. We lost the baby at 8 weeks, but we got to hear the heartbeat and gave the baby a name too. I'm excited to meet the baby in heaven. (Not as an angel though). I'm heartbroken for the two. I think there is a difference between saying:this is common so get over it (never say that) and this is common let's grief together.

I don’t even see where anyone insinuated that God gives things based on worth. <br /><br />God gives a multitude of varying blessings. Children are not the only blessing, and idolizing children as THE blessing will result in bitterness with God when we do not receive one. <br /><br />Saying God wills for one person to have a child and not another has nothing to do with our worth but has to do with the uniqueness of His gifts and His plans for the lives of the ones He loves. <br /><br />Seeing emotional suffering as a reason to disbelieve in God is hard for me to understand. Emotional suffering is part of everyone’s lives. We just each get to choose how we respond to that suffering and how to help others through our experiences. It’s purely self-centered to believe God needs to give us what we want, or else he’s a jerk. To quote Marilla Cuthbert, “God does not want you for a fairweather friend.” <br /><br />-HayleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-38814488952957859202019-02-15T08:23:38.215-06:002019-02-15T08:23:38.215-06:00I know how you feel.

Except on this one year aniversary of the Parkland High School shooting, my heart aches for all the families affected by the devestating gun violence that took the lives of their loved ones and injured many others. We do a poor job of protecting the living in this country and need much stricter gun control laws. Guns are manufactured for one reason only- killing. That should pain everyone.

Though it is common, it's still deeply personal and obviously very sad for them. To decide to share this news on the day of the premiere seems in poor taste for TLC. I'm sure it's made harder for Lauren now that Jessa is pregnant again. I've never seen Lauren do anything but smile and laugh and it's hard to watch her in such a difficult state. My heart truly goes out to her and I hope that TLC will only share this type of info w/ the full consent of the couple and not as a publicity stunt.

In Australia it’s very unusual to tell the family before getting checked. It’s still devastating either way.

The point of the law is to save the life/preserve the health of the mother, or to prevent the sufffering of the unborn who are nonviable or would suffer after birth from a terminal condition. This would be an agonizing decision for any woman to have to make. Having the government telling her what to do would be preposterous. As long as there are pro-birth activists working to restrict abortions and/or overturn Roe v Wade, there will be just as much push back from the other side to counteract their efforts. This is the case in NY. The good news is that abortion rates have been declining for years, thanks to better access to effective contraception. It's time for politicians to step up and advocate for free birth control for all. It's a win-win.
