I'm just saying John 11:32 is not immediately followed by John 11:40. There is a time for grief, and there is a time for evangelism.

I've miscarried twice myself. A lot of women have. Sometimes it's grieving a child you never knew, but sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's just a late period. Miscarriage is rarely the same depth of loss as stillbirth; it's almost never the wrenching, life-changing grief of losing a six-year-old. It feels honestly a bit grotesque even to make the comparison.
