Dwelling on what happened to the lifeless body that nature took from them is pointless.

Try to imagine folks who are joyous at the prospect of a child being born. Imagine how they have already begun to plan for their future with the child. Imagine them sharing their excitement and anticipation with others. Imagine others joining in their joy.

Try to imagine that all going horribly wrong. The new life taken by death. Try to imagine the sorrow and suffering.

Thankfully, most FReepers can do this automatically. I hope this little exercise helps anyone challenged in the empathy area.

I've been in the exact same position. It was a tough time. I Just don't recall caring in the slightest how the body was disposed of. What possible difference does it make?

Well, I guess when it comes to empathizing with some ghoulish obsession over the disposition of a tiny, undeveloped, little body that died naturally, I'm coming up a little short.
