Feeling guilty even more

[Funsusnsb]

Edit: turns out i completely misinterpretd her question, and she let me know i brought her to tears for assuming she would harm her baby. She informed me that it died already and that she would never do that. I just feel horrible for bringing a lady to tears by mis interpreting her question. I already apoligized but any advice on how to feel less guilty about how to get my mind of this situation? I feel so horrible for thinking an innocent woman who was grieving would kill her baby.

When you write a letter, or make a post, do you go back and edit it? You were editing as you went, but nevertheless did what the Lord expects. Your message was made clear and need not have been repeated exactly. Move forward, as you will stumble if you look back.

 

[GospelOfMatthew]

Proverbs 12:15

”The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.”

You did what you were suppose to do, it’s up to her now to accept or decline your advice. For further reflection to give you peace and calming, reflect on these two verses:

”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” - Hebrews 13:8

”For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.” - Psalm 48:14

 

[Theo520]

your story details are limited but if you spoke with compassion, you have nothing to be feeling guilty about.

Post Partum depression and it’s impact on care giving is a real issue that cannot just be ignored when there are clues, even if misinterpreted.

ALWAYS remember this. Never make rash decisions about people, always speak with kindness.

Do you feel guilty or do you feel a compassionate sorrow for this woman whose pain you inadvertently increased?

Either way, maybe pray for her to receive God’s love?

 

[Funsusnsb]

I felt both, but thankfully she accepted my apology.
