My 35 year old cousin had a miscarriage late last night. This was her 1st pregnancy and she was so excited about it. I know God had a reason, but she is having a hard time dealing with it. Prayers for her and her husband would be much appreciated. Her name is Jan. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm very sorry to hear about your cousin. I know that a miscarriage can be very difficult to deal with - I've also had a miscarriage before. At a time like this it is also hard to understand what the reasons would be, but like you said, God definately had a reason for this and so I definately will be in prayer for your cousin. May God heal her body expediently and also her heart from this loss. God bless.

Wow I'm really sorry and I'll keep her in my prayers. All she needs now is love from everyone around her. I hope that she is better now and that she has a lot of people around her to support her and care for her.

I dont pray and I dont believe in god BUT I've miscarried (my first and fourth) as well as lost a living child (my fifth) so I am all too aware of the pain that comes with it...your cousin is in my thoughts as is her husband....

I'm very to hear about it. Sure it's not easy to accept it especially that she had been so excited about it, probably even had some difficulty with her early pregnancy and now it just went like that. I would cry too if that happens to me.
I do hope and pray that God will comfort Jan and show her more love especially this time.

Very sorry to hear this, Sherry, but your right. God has a plan for everyone. This baby's plan was not to be born alive. Hugs and prayers sent her way, my friend.

I'm sorry for her loss.
My cousin was 36 years old when she had a miscarriage. Like your cousin this was her first pregnancy. I have no doubt she was devastated. But she became pregnant about a year or so later and now has a 9 year old son.
I also had a miscarriage almost 2 1/2 years ago. Although it was my third pregnancy and not my first it was still hard on me. But my husband and I haven't given up and are trying to conceive. Maybe it will happen for us again. And hopefully it will for your cousin.

Sherry, so sorry to hear of Jan's miscarriage. I too lost my first baby, about half way thru the pregnancy and I was very upset too. I hope her husband has been supportive. I felt really devastated; I recall lying on the bed quietly weeping (a few days later) and my husband came home from work unexpectedly... he lay down beside me and we talked quietly, and he wept too. Immediately my load lifted. To know he was hurting too was all it took to halve my burden, and from then on I healed.
Apparently a lot of first pregnancies go this way. The doc said it was a placenta previa which caused it. I went on to have three more wonderful children.
The Bible tells us that "time and unforseen occurence" befall us all, and so I don't believe that God caused this to happen.
I hope that with 5-10 years' fertility ahead of her, Jan can conceive again and bring to birth a beautiful baby, as I did!
Sending love and prayers your way...
Brenda

Don't worry I'll pray for her and her lost baby. It's really hard to deal with loss of life. She's 35 years old, it must be a tough pregnancy for that age. I had my 4th baby at that age and it's really very difficult to be pregnant that age.
For the meantime just let her grieve on what happened. Support of the family is much needed at this time.

Oh Sherry..I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin's miscarriage. Yes, I shall send prayers to her and her husband for their healing at a time that should have been filled with joy. What heart breaking news.

It is good to blame God for everything, the good and the bad. Thanking God for the good and the bad is also a good thing.

I will pray for her.I won't get into the same old sayings that everything happens for a reason and God has a plan for us all.This is all true but I bet she is hearing that from everyone and at this time maybe it isn't really what she needs to hear.I believe that one day all these questions we have about why bad things happen to good people etc. will be answered until then I think your sister can only take one day at a time and eventually she will heal some.
God Bless,
Jas
