I feel the same way. People just ond't know how to relate. Or they downplay it to something they can manage. When it comes to church people, they just don't get it. I've really struggled with my faith since losing Charlotte. Nobody can explain why she's gone.
*subsequent pregnancy mentioned*
When my son was born, they all said was "god is good". I have a hard time with that. If God is so good, then why is my little girl gone? Why didn't he save her or allow us to have her?? I'll never fully understand the answers to any of these. But how can I thank God for my son when I don't have my daughter.
We didn't have a first Mother's or Father's day this year... last year was my first when I was still pregnant with Charlotte.
I don't think it's us... It is "them". They don't think or attempt to understand. They don't want to think about the bad things that have happened to us. Or that it could possibly happen to them. I've needed to vent too. Thanks.
