My heart is very heavy for them. Not just because they lost this life but because people are ruthless. Completely ruthless. I've seen comments like "See. This is a sign to stop." People, WHY do you have to pass judgement? Why do you care? Why does it matter to you? Why can't you leave that family alone? And what gain do you get for blasting them? They just lost a beautifully formed 1 or 2 pound child who within a few weeks would have been viable like Josie. Have some heart and keep your trap shut. They are mourning. And no, they don't see your comment, but who cares. Have some tact and be quiet.
I read this article and I think it's spot-on: http://getalonghome.com/2011/12/world-hate-duggars/
It's sad, really. And honestly, I feel more about this than most because I will be that mother. I will be carrying children into my 40's. I will probably miscarry as I approach menopause. Talk to any family who is really open to life... they miscarry as their fertility shuts down. It just happens. Those "friends" of mine who are blasting the Duggars, will be feeling similar thoughts as Jim and I keep having children.
I had a miscarriage, are you telling me to stop? Is my body just not ready? Is that really up to me? No. God give and God takes away. Plain as that. I will be blessed when another Conrad joins the ranks, regardless of when that is. I know the pain of losing a baby, regardless of how teeny and the next baby I carry will be celebrated, appreciated and much anticipated.
My thoughts are with the Duggars today and their intense loss. I hope the coming days and weeks find them peace, comfort and love as their hearts heal. <3
