I really don't know anything about the Duggars either, having never seen anything of theirs, but as you said, a child is a child. And a loss is still a loss.<br /><br />We really don't deal well with grief in our culture; we deal with death in general really badly, too - even people of faith. I think one of the most important things we can do for each other is to acknowledge such pain rather than minimize it. Having one's grief and loss go unrecognized - or, worse, disparaged - just makes it that much more painful. I am glad you were able to speak of yours.Sarah SSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800966903282350022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-42445822452309278932011-12-19T15:14:35.799-08:002011-12-19T15:14:35.799-08:00A woman in our small group at church has had 4 mis...A woman in our small group at church has had 4 miscarriages, and it opened my eyes to the special grief involved -- and how few ways we have to acknowledge and support someone who's had such a loss. <br /><br />I appreciate this post and agree with Irene's comment.Janethttp://acrossthepage.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-63181847495406968992011-12-19T07:58:04.088-08:002011-12-19T07:58:04.088-08:00I really think that some of issues with the photos...I really think that some of issues with the photos are from those that want to believe that babies in the womb are "just fetuses" and not a human being. I notice that many people that support abortion won't watch what one looks like. It's interesting. I had a miscarriage after my first son, and I know it struck me so hard, guilt, self-loathing... It was a hard time for me, too. Thank you for this post. They are a family I learn from each time I watch them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844997419879670821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-29619813324900913332011-12-18T18:05:39.258-08:002011-12-18T18:05:39.258-08:00Thanks for sharing that, Ruth.

It's so sad that other people would criticize and judge rather than reach out with compassion for a very real loss.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05365590620649909973noreply@blogger.com
