#SayItOutLoud

After talking to many moms who have lost children this is one phrase we all agree on.  Heaven has plenty of angels…saying God needed another one makes me feel angry, lost, and brings little comfort.   I find it to be a close variation of “I went home hugged my kids and thanked God that they are still with me.”  No one ever means to upset a newly bereaved parent but sometimes those words do just that.

My hope would be that instead of using “God needed another angel” to offer comfort or condolences, you would offer something else.  A simple “I am sorry for the loss of your little one” is better in my opinion and that of many moms who are missing little ones every day.
