• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi Ladies,

Just passing through. Please consider the following comments from a well meaning guy who is truly sorry for your loss.

14 years ago, my wife miscarried our twins early on. It was her first pregnancy. It was a difficult time for both of us. Sometimes, as a consequence of Adam's sin, bad things just happen in this world. Sometimes a miscarriage is just God's way of making sure that everything that comes out has a fighting chance.

As I am a Christian, and believe that life begins at conception, I count them in my heart as two of my children. I have full confidence that both of them are nestled in the arms of my Heavenly Father, unblemished and unspotted from living in this world, waiting to meet me when I come Home. Should you feel guilty? No. Should you hurt? Probably. What good could ever come from such a thing? Someday, 14 years from now, you may find yourself cruising a message board reading something and because God has made your heart softer, you know exactly how someone feels. Maybe you can say some small thing that would be helpful. God has blessed me with 2 more wonderful children since, but I still have the memory of my "first two". Does it ever go completely away? No. Can you eventually rationalize it so it makes perfect sense? Probably not. But in time, you find a way to make your peace with it...

I apologize in advance if this post comes across overly melodramatic. The feelings and concern are real even if the words were not chosen properly.

God bless you all.
This was a wonderful post JDIBe!! I totally agree. I too have have miscarriages...three in one year! I know that my babies are in heaven with God, being well taken care of and I will be with them one day! Does it make me yearn for them any less...no, it does not, but it does comfort me. Who better to care for your children then God! My heart and prayers go out to each one of you who posted of the loss of your child! It was a very confusing time for me. All aspects were affected, spiritual, physical, mental and emotional! That was 4 years ago and I still haven't completely sprung back. I think the spiritual one was the hardest one! Since then depression has been a battle for me. I think it was always there but all the stress and pain really brought it to the forefront! The pain does go away though! It will be hard for you for a while but it will get better. Don't give up and when you are ready, you will have another child. No one can replace the one you lost but you will have lots of love to give to your next child :) ! Blessings to you all.
