      It’s a serious comic about miscarriage that everyone thought was hilarious due to its contrast with the usual funny series.

      As someone who’s been through the loss comic in real life, multiple times, it’s pretty fucked everyone uses it as a meme. It’s a miserable, soul crushing experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone. And that’s from the perspective of the father. I can’t begin to imagine the emotional pain my wife was in.

        I’m truly sorry for your and your wife’s suffering. I have one kid, and everything went perfectly up to present day adulthood. I don’t think I would be able to function after even one episode of what you’ve gone through. Internet hugs from afar.

        I’m sorry to hear that… this meme is a weird internet fixation these days. I hope you and your wife recover and are able to move on and be happy together…

        I was serious and that’s brutal. After thirteen years of Reddit, I have no idea how I was completely ignorant of this one.
