There’s been a lot of discussion going on around the internet about the Duggar’s and the loss of their most recent baby girl who died before she could be born.
I’m not in the mood to discuss people’s personal opinion’s on the Duggars, how many children they have, their belief’s, etc.. However, what I am in the mood to say is…
If you’ve got something negative to say about a family who is suffering a loss, zip your lips and sit on your hands!
I understand some people do not believe this baby was a ‘baby’. Fine, use that as your reasoning.
I understand some people do not believe anyone should have so many kids. Fine, use that as your reasoning.
However, EVERY PERSON in society SHOULD understand that if you have even one small ounce of maturity and compassion within you, that when someone FEELS loss, you don’t stomp on them, you don’t ridicule them, you don’t say nasty things about them.
You come alongside, and offer support. OR, simply keep your mouth shut, or sit on those fingers of yours.
It’s really not that hard, AND, it’s as simple as choosing to do so.
“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
A family is grieving. It doesn’t matter what you feel or what you think about that family, or their loss, as human’s, it’s our responsibility to show compassion.
Otherwise, how else can we expect our children to grow up and be a compassionate society?
Think about it.
Funny that I should see
This immediately after my recent status update. I have been wanting to blog about this lately but have no Internet at home so haven’t. I agree 100 thousand percent.
Totally agree. People are disgusting.
Could not agree more! Plus I am actually “happy” that they are talking about it because miscarriage/baby loss should NOT be such a taboo. I had a stillbirth and several miscarriages and they were all MY babies and I (and my husband equally) hurt over their death. It IS a horrible loss and people do not get it. Thanks for your post.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Amen! And the same if someone loses a cherished pet too, as they are just like one of the family….
Couldn’t have said it better Pietra!
