My second loss happened on a work business trip. The day I got there I started spotting and the following day I went to the ER because I was bleeding heavily and they confirmed I was miscarrying. That same night I went to dinner with co-workers because I couldn't get a flight home until the following day. Well at the dinner one of my co-workers proceeded to tell me that what I had been through was "Nothing" and that she knows women who have had alot more miscarriages. Then some how we got on the topic of religion and how since going through what I have its really made me question alot of things. Especially since I was never very religious to begin with. Well she then proceeded to tell me that that's why I've had 2 losses and that I will continue to have struggles until I become more religious, start going to church, and admit that god is in control of my life. All of this was said to me the day I found out I was miscarrying!!!
Well wouldn't you know I came into work this morning only to find out that that stupid b*tch is pregnant and it was unplanned. Of course now she's going around telling everyone "Life is out of our control and god wants us to be parents now" I hope that she NEVER knows what I've been through but part of me wonders if she did loose her LO if she would think so highly of god and him taking her child away.
I just wanna go home and cry.....hurry up 6 o'clock!!!![]()

Those are my feelings exactly. I told her several times "thats fine and your entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. We don't have to agree" and she would not let up. It got to the point where I actually got up from the table and walked out of the restaraunt.

1. Your coworker is a lint licker.
2. Yor coworker makes Jesus cry.
3. Your coworker probably kicks puppies in her spare time and therefore god does not love her.
4. NEXT TIME your coworker says something stupid to you about this, please quote Ephesians 2.8 to her: "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God". God, like parents and friends, doesn't give presents because we EARN them. God gives presents because God loves people. And grace? That's God's present that God gave just because. Just because it's Tuesday. Just because the sun is shining. Just because God loves you. Also, God gave grace and love to bolster you to deal with idiot a$$hats like your coworker. God's sorry about her. Don't worry. He'll take care of it.
5. She sucks.
6. I like lists. Can you tell? Also, she sucks balls. For real. I HATE people who use God like that. I think Ambrandau has a glorious entry regarding another little piece of scripture that's important as well. I've got a few blog entries on God & miscarriage also and my main point is that if God does this to me to teach me something, then I want no part of it.
7. REALLY stun her and say "Well, I've been reading Rabbi Kushner and have come to conclude, as he does, that I can either believe in an all-powerful God or an all-loving God. I chose all-loving."

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know religion is a very sensitive topic here and I consider myself to be a very spiritual person, but after four losses I have had a lot of anger, a lot of frustration and seeing douchebags like that woman KU make me question even more what God's plan truly is. If she were truly a woman of God she would have known the hurt you were feeling and been a supportive friend instead of trying to cram her religious beliefs down your throat. She should have been an example of God's grace and not taken on his role of judge, jury and executioner. People like that upset me because there if she truly had God in her heart she would not judge you.
I think you should take off today as well, stay at home and have a drink.
