[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first instinct is to shudder and feel like she's tempting fate. (And I say this as someone with no history of loss.) [/quote]

There's some type of privilege in people who have never had to go through loss and can just tempt fate like this.  As someone who lost twins at 6 months, I didn't even tell most of my friends I was expecting next time around.  Just too much. [/quote]

I'm sorry for your loss. I've experienced my own gut-wrenching and life altering miscarriage.

That said - there is no "privilege" in those that believe as I do - that nothing I could have done, and nothing that I didn't do - caused the loss of my unborn child. I'm sorry that it affects you in that way - but the Aunt has it hanging in her own home, not painted on the side of her vehicle. She's excited. She's allowed. It's not privilege - it's celebrating and looking forward to another life.

After my loss, although cautious, I was just as excited - if not moreso. Everyone deals with grief - and celebration - in different ways. To say somehow she's wrong is wrong in itself.[/quote]
