Chronicles of Ellery Ivan MD

Entry #42

A few days ago, I learned that a good friend of mine had a miscarriage. She lost her fetus, child…her baby. No words can and will console for the lost.

What can a doctor do? Explain to the would-be parents? That’s not an option, both the mother and father are also doctors. And they are not searching for a medical answer. They are asking why it happened?

Can they blame God? I certainly hope not.

So, again how do you console the lost of a love one?

I don’t know actually. No answers will be found here.

However, as a friend, I will listen.

Listen to them talk, rant, grieve and pray with them should they wish.
