Respectfully no. No it doesn’t always happen for a reason sometimes it’s just shit. Other personal faves are “it just wasn’t meant to be” “he’s in a better place” 😅😅 Loss parents tell me I’m not alone, what’s your most hated comment that you get?? #babyloss #babylossawareness #stillborn #angelbaby #everythinghappensforareason
