Thank you for sharing with me. I don’t wish what we’ve been through on anyone but it’s nice to know I’m not alone. My church, which should’ve helped me, kept trying to find out what sin I had committed to cause me to be “barren”. What a horrible word. There is still a part of me that blames myself. I knew I had to leave that church when I kept thinking “If ONE more person tells that Sarah had a baby at 99, I’m going to punch ‘em.” LOL!

No, you aren't alone!! God is with you, ALWAYS!!! :*)

I'm sorry that the people at that church didn't understand the Word of God better. You should have found comfort in there, not chastisement. :*(

I remember feeling that maybe I should have done something, ANYTHING to prevent the deaths of my babies, but that was an exercise in uselessness--my condition only 'kicks in' when I am pregnant, how was I or the doctors to know??

You are not to blame--remember the story in the Bible about the blind man? The disciples asked Jesus what sin he or his parents had committed for him to be punished with blindness--the answer was "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him."

I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that God has a special plan for you, and someday your questions will be answered. {{Hugs}}
