“This year, we would’ve been a family of four or even five.” Empress Schuck started her Facebook post with this line as she shared her miscarriage story on the social media platform. Her post included photos of her ultrasound, happy photos of her sharing the news, and positive pregnancy tests.
She continued, “From two embryos, to one, then to none. I’m still not sure how to talk about it. I just know that sometimes our plans for ourselves don’t align with God’s plans for us.”
She then thanked her husband, Vino Guingona, and their loved ones who have supported them throughout the experience, saying, “To my husband. Vino Guingona, who’s been by my side and making sure I feel alright through this puzzling experience, you are truly God’s blessing to me. We may not exactly understand how we feel about this but having each other is enough to say that everything will be OK. To our family who showed us care and love, thank you and we appreciate all of you.
Misunderstood
Several netizens seem to misunderstand her post and commented congratulations. Although a number offered sympathies, saying:
“May not be the words you want to hear now, but God truly has His plan. In His perfect time it will happen. Hope you feel better soon.”
“God has a bigger plan for both of you. Just hold on to HIm and trust everything whatever He is planning for you.”
“Everything happens for a reason Ms. Empress. I’ve been in your situation recently and no words can explain how painful it is. Hope you feel better soon as well.”
A few reprimanded other commenters, saying, “Don’t congratulate someone who just lost her babies.
Aside from congratulations, here are a few other things you should not say to someeone who just had a miscarriage.
