The Insensitive.
There is the silence and then there is the insensitive. The silence is bad, but the insensitive screams in your ears. The Insensitive takes your baby and steps on it. The Insensitive might actually cause the silence.
I have not experienced insensitive people. (Well, at least ones that had anything to say about my miscarriage). I am very, very thankful for this. This was one of my very first concerns. What are people going to say to me and I am going to lose it. I was ready. I had read the articles and blogs about what people say. I was armed and ready.
People say these things whether they mean to be insensitive or not. I wonder if they are trying to be helpful? Or maybe they don't truly consider that it was a baby that was lost.
The kindest words for me would be. I am sorry for your loss, I cannot even imagine the pain you are going through.
And sometimes Silence from THESE people are best. I am very convinced that some people should just keep their mouths shut.
