Miscarriage Is Not A Joke

I know some of my Filipino co-writers here know what this topic is about because we are all aware of the Alex Gonzaga situation as well as the election day. I'd want to prohibit my account from politics because I know we won't all agree on everything, but let me leave you one more topic with a tinge of politics. When I see her vlog with Zeinab, I just can't help but want to write about it. She told Zeinab, "Perhaps having a child is really lovely." That sentence is just simple, and even though she is smiling as she says it, I know she is grieving and still asking to God for a child. Alex Gonzaga is a Filipino actress, influencer, and YouTuber. She was known as the kalog girl or hilarious girl since her vlogs are lots of laughs that would brighten your day. Her YouTube videos are my go-to when I'm feeling lonely or down, and I'm never disappointed since they actually lift my spirits.

I saw Alex's vlog yesterday in which she pays a visit to Zeinab Harake and her beautiful daughter Bia. We are also aware that Skusta Clee, Bia's father, cheated on Zeinab, which is a different issue that I will tackle soon. Zeinab is now a single mother, and Alex, as her friend, understands her sentiments. Zeinab just spoke about her miscarriage to her little son. She was 4 months pregnant, and because her elder daughter was not quite a year old, her womb was too frail to carry another child. It was difficult for her to grieve for her lost kid alone.

Alex Gonzaga posted a status to her official Facebook page last October 17, 2021:

Hi. 2 months ago we found out that I was pregnant and 3 weeks ago, we got a heartbreaking news that we might be having an anembryonic pregnancy (blighted ovum). Our doctor advised us to wait for the process to naturally take its course. So we had to wait for awhile for the pregnancy to finally end before we can tell our story. The waiting and praying tested our faith and there were a lot of crying. Everyday we were clinging on to a miracle that an embryo would still appear but last Tuesday (Oct12), the Lord’s will prevailed and we finally closed the book of our first pregnancy. We share our story to give hope that in the midst of this pain and loss the Lord will always sustain you. To any couple who’s going through this or who might go through this pain, don’t ever lose hope. It’s not your fault this happened. At your own pace you can start to grieve and heal. Mikee and I held on to our Lord Jesus to prepare and help us accept our situation. He blessed us with a kind of LOVE that is ready to understand. We know that in His perfect time He will bless us with our ultimate desire. To our baby whom we almost had, thank you for giving mommy and daddy joy even for a short span. Lastly, thank you to everyone who gave us time to heal.

My sister had a miscarriage as well, and it would have been her first child if it had survived. I witnessed her sorrow and lament when her baby died, therefore I understand Alex Gonzaga's feelings when her child died. Miscarriage is not a joke matter, and please do not use it against those you despise. Do not use it to start an argument with her since it is a serious subject, and the mother who hears this will most likely return to her despair.

This is the post of Alex after the election. Her sister is host of the President-elect Bongbong Marcos this recently election and we know a lot of people from different candidates have bashed them because of her decision to be a host and supporter of the said candidates. The post is a mere posiitive one if I am the one who will interpret it, she was just hoping that all the colors from election will be back to be okay but look what she got in the comment section:

There are many comments in that issue; if you want to view them all, go to Facebook. Look at how people use such phrases for the woman who had a miscarriage. It's terrifying to sit back and watch them do it. I understand how frustrated it is to realize that your candidates did not win and theirs did, but please do not spew such vitriol. Some individuals are excessive, and I wonder how Alex Gonzaga feels after reading those scathing comments. I'm sure her heart is still mending from the loss of her child because it was her first child, but only God knows what will happen next. I hope those who make fun of someone's grief have never been in such a horrible position. I was hoped they would beg God for forgiveness for harming someone.

Conclusion

Alex and Zeinab, as well as I and you, do not deserve to lose a child. We don't deserve to lose such precious creature, and only God knows what's really going on. I'm praying to God that Alex will soon have a baby; please, Lord, give it to her sooner since I know she's ready and excited. I also believe that not everything needs to have political topics. If the issue is politics, be sure you circle the topic into politics solely and do not include anything else. Furthermore, do not include politics in all aspects of life; we do not live just in politics; we also have lives outside of politics. I'm tired of it, but here is my centerpiece about politics and elections.

Thank you for your time!
