Accidents happen. And I think its terrible to insinuate that people who this happens to secretly did it on purpose. Maybe it makes people feel safer. Like nothing bad happens if you have good intentions and bad things happen to bad people. Maybe it gives you the false sense of security it could never happen to you because you’re a good person and would never make that kind of mistake—because it wasn’t really a mistake—they did it on purpose.
When my friends lost their child, SEVERAL people asked me if I thought they were abusive or meant to kill their child. It was an accident and they are still devastated about it. And it was a simple household accident that in hindsight seemed obvious and they were stupid,, but it was an accident.
Until it happens to you or someone you know and love, you can’t understand this. The world you live in a lot simpler because you haven’t had to face something like this. But yes, people can accidentally have their children die due to a few unfortunate mistakes coming together at once.
Bad things don’t only happen to evil people. And that may be too scary to face, but it’s true.
