Sometimes we share our trials with others. Sometimes those people have no idea what to say to be comforting, supportive, etc. They try to be sympathetic but sometimes it just comes out different.
Here are some doozies from my life...
"I have had 6 children so I know, you just need to relax."
"adopt! Then you will get pregnant!"
The dreaded...
"everything happens for a reason."
Or
The dreaded...
"things happen in the lord's time"
"my sister friend who ever had (insert issue here) then she had ( insert some miraculous event here)."
"go on vacation"
I bet you all have some doozies as well. Tell me some of things people have said to you.
A couple months ago my sister told me "well if you love your children then you will go through (insert major medical procedure)". Mind you she is talking about the children I don't have and am not garanteed to have.
