Thing to NEVER say to someone who lost a pregnancy: 1. You can always try again! 2. God needed another angel in heaven 3. At least you have other children 4. Absolutely anything related to their views or your views about reproductive rights 5. Anything related to “God’s will”

Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve were naked and unashamed UNTIL THEY LISTENED TO A SNAKE. In other words, shame doesn’t originate from God’s voice. Shame originates from voices who say they are speaking for God, and that’s different.
