I believe this to an extent. Death and life go hand in hand, but I am not so sure if a person in a family dies for another to be born. Life begins at conception. It really varies from religion to religion. But, I would say that yes, someone dies in order for another to be born, but you may not know that person. At the very moment of conception someone is dying and the soul gets recycled into the embryo. That is how I view it.  |

I always thought when someone does they are reborn as something else like a animal or plant or tree. this post also reminds me of the movie What Dreams May Come its a good sad movie that deals with people who die and are reborn as different people only to meet again one day  |

If you throw a still birth into the equation, who gets blamed for that death?  |

Personally I don't believe it. I mean, it would be nice if that were the case but I think it's just one of those sayings that help people cope/justify why someone passed away. Just my opinion.  |

Yeah I agree with DR. Worldwide, we have population growths going through the roof, so that saying doesn't seem to be working.  |

I don't think someone passes away in order for someone to be born, or vice versa. I do believe there is a great cycle and with life brings death and with death brings life. Some people say deaths, births, and marriages come in 3's, I have witnessed this weird pattern but that could be because I am 'looking' for it. Perhaps on a grander scale than we can see or imagine, when tragedy strikes with the passing of a loved one we are given something to bring joy afterward, hence a birth after death. Interesting post,  |

Like Zelana says about werid patterns with death, marriage, and birth to me this is one of those kind of weird patterns. I hope I got your name right. My aunt holds it against my cousin's son being born the same day her husband passed away. She seems to believe it if she never bothers to talk to him. Not really his fault or my cousin's fault. Can't choose when to go into birth and not the baby's choice either. |

It is interesting you brong this up right now. Last night the mother of one of our tenants passed away. Two weeks ago, the tenants son was in a nearly fatal car accident. She keeps saying that feels as though was trading one for the other. Interesting.  |

How does a month old baby being murdered allow you to be born?  |

May be God felt my cousin deserved death more then life. I don't mean to sound mean but both my aunt and uncle were drug addicts. His brother commit suicide because of the life he had constantly being moved from foster home to foster home. If he hated it so much it had to be pretty bad to take his own life. It seemed like whenever he was put with a foster family that was close to us his real family they moved him to another foster family because he was never allowed to see his real family. Even if my cousin wasn't murdered my aunt and uncle could have been so drugged up they wouldn't have been sane enough to care about their kids. I am not sure if with just that alone kids can be taken away from their parents. But if so he could have had the same life as his brother and may be God didn't want that for him so he gave his life to the closest to be born which just so happened to be me. |

May be I was also born so that I kept my family happy and not mourn over a death in the family. I could have been the one thing to cheer my family up. |

It would be kind of weird to think that the only reason you were born was so that you could give pleasure to other people. |

I didn't say it would be the only reason. Just not every day one infant in a family is born and a couple hours later another infant in the family passes away. Apparently that isn't the only reason I was born. Everyone is born for many reasons. Not just for one reason. |

No I may not have kids of my own but I do work in a day care and it is not weird at all when an infant laying in your arms smiling up at you making you happy when you are so stressed out or upset. It's one of the most precious things. It should never be weird for a child being alive not being pleasurable to their family. I know you said for only that reason. I am just saying it shouldn't ever be werid at all. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had heart breaks and was scared when my mom was having health problems. The kids made me smile even when I didn't really want too. My mom had a heart attack and ended up having two life threatening surgeries which one caused her to have a minor stroke. I was scared. The kids being funny and making me laugh helped me not worry so much and helped me stay positive. Even through the heart breaks when I felt I couldn't keep moving forward in life working with them I wanted to set a better example for them. I didn't want them to see me down and depressed making them think that's how all people should take relationship problems. I wanted to show them even when things may seem to be really bad keep a smile on your face and stay strong and things will get better. Everything happens for a reason. To learn and avoid the same problem in the future. |

I'm just saying as I already said I am not the only one in my family born the same day as another family member passed away. You just never know. |

I know there were tons of births on 9/11 as there were deaths. I believe that day so many women were stressed over what was going on in New York they ended up going into labor earlier or it was just their time to give birth. You never know though. |

I have been trying to say it's just something I heard about. I know other people who were born the same day others passed away. Not just myself. I am not sure I fully believe it. I kind of do. There is no reason for anyone to make mean comments about this. |
