I don't know why but tonight this phrase is really annoying me. I didn't lose my baby, as if I put it down and cannot find the baby. The baby died. It feels so... detached, unemotional, lack-of-recognition-ish to say the baby was "lost".

I understand people say that when adults die, "We lost Dad" etc, but it seems like it is avoiding the awful truth, refusing to vocalise it, maybe saying "lost" feels safer emotionally than "died".

I am not offended by others who use the term, just thinking it through myself. My baby isn't lost and can't be "found" . It died.

Just my personal musings.
