My word, most of us move on over any type of loss. Most of us aren’t really into your intimate life happenings. Grieve in your own way but don’t expect the world to stop.

My son kept asking for a little brother. I didn’t tell him until he had been an adult for several years, that I hadn’t been able to have another child. He felt terrible, but I told him I knew at the time that he wasn’t being hurtful. But I did wait to tell him until he was old enough so he could understand more what had happened.

The saddest part for me back then was when I told my dad that last time, and he started crying. But he and my mom sure did adore our son.

I think that’s common among people of all religions...wondering what they did to cause God to (seem to) abandon them...I’m Catholic and I’m tough on the Church...but this thinking isn’t confined to Catholics...every woman I know who isn’t a stone cold atheist who has had a miscarriage, wonders is it was her fault.
