I am still friends with my sister, have forgiven her...October 15 was a reminder to this. thanks for caring. I guess, it still hurts..I think it’s time to stop trashing Sarah’s sister. Sarah has gotten the point. She’s right, her sister is wrong. We all know that. She must know that by now. If I’m not mistaken, Sarah seems to want to reconnect with her sister.

October 15. is the day for remembrance for pregnancy loss and infant death which includes, miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or the death of a newborn.
I was thinking about the only baby that I lost in miscarriage back in 2000. I still think about him/her.
My husband and I had endured long-term infertility and it had taken us two years to conceive this baby we had lost. We saw a fertility Endocrinologist who gave me some fertility drugs to help me conceive.
When I lost the baby, my older sister told me that God was punishing me for not trusting him and using fertility drugs. But they only helped me ovulate.
She never apologised to me and it does hurt me somewhat that she took this view.
We never had any living children and my marriage ended last year when my husband left me. She also was holding me accountable for my husband's actions.
We did pray and did trust God in our fertility journey but I don't think we lost our baby because God was punishing us.

Thank you. Years earlier, she suffered her first miscarriage before having her son and daughter. I was the 2nd person she called. I came and took her to the hospital. Obviously she forgot I was there for her.
Then that is what happened. A medical anomaly. Not an act of god. I have had 2 medical anomalies that would have resulted as miscarriages had I not had a procedure called D&C.unexplained.

It's not a matter of punishment, it's God's will though. What lesson you were to learn or what God was protecting your family from is unique to you. My wife had a couple miscarriages, we don't look back on them with sadness. We recognize it was God's will and in our case he gave us children that we wouldn't have had but for the miscarriages. That's hardly punishment.October 15. is the day for remembrance for pregnancy loss and infant death which includes, miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or the death of a newborn.

We had a miscarriage in 1992. When our third/last (living) daughter was born, God told me to give her the name that we had reserved for our fourth daughter; that the third name belonged to the child we had lost.But I would like to ask. For your own healing and wholeness, have you ever considered naming your child? I was just curious.

James 1:17:If the theology of punishment that your sister laid on you were true, then it must be applicable to anyone anywhere, including herself.
ie. God didn't make spiritual laws just so he could beat one person over the head with them.
So an interesting question to ask is, has your sister suffered any calamity, illness, work or family problems, or has everything been completely perfect all her life?
It doesn't matter how small, an ingrown toe nail, a common cold, does she need specs, has she pranged her car?
Whatever the problems in her life, according to her beliefs, they must have happened because she sinned in one way or another.
How did Jesus view such accusations.-
Jesus constantly slapped the Pharisees down because they were so fond of pointing the finger at the sin or failure in others, but invariably whitewashed over their own sin.
Its called hypocrisy.
I'm saying all this, not so you can call your sister out, but so you can quietly forgive her in your heart, cast off that yoke of bondage she laid on you, and start afresh with your life.
The enemy comes to kill steal and destroy, but Jesus came to give life and give it abundantly!
Your baby died because this world is fallen and ruled by Satan, and he loves to bring death and destruction.
Well...heck no. "He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." (Matt 5:45) It's a very fragile world we live in-and we don't have ultimate control of anything. That's one of the ugliest and most condemning things I've heard, to be honest. But it's very human as well, to do what your sister did. We tend towards self-righteousness and priggishness-and looking for a way to hope the same tragedy would never befall us.October 15. is the day for remembrance for pregnancy loss and infant death which includes, miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or the death of a newborn.

I was going to add this to my post, but ran out of time.James 1:17:
1At that time, some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate? 3No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
