Good question. I think chaplains like to say stuff to ease peoples pain. Nobody really knows why God does what he does or even if he chose to do anything. Maybe sometimes He lets stuff happen. Really we can not even be sure he exists.

I also have heard that ALOT when people miscarry or stillborn. I hear that "god knew there was something wrong and ended the pregnancy".
With that being said, Wouldn't that make God an Abortionist?

most of the time bad things happen as a consequence of our actions, or by us just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So it's the parents fault then? That makes them murderers. It's fairly irresponsible of God to put that kind of inhumane pressure on the psyche of these unfortunate people.
No, there are more rational explanations than that.

but i also said that you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. maybe a rope breaks and a piano falls on your head. the devil didnt do it, neither did god. just wrong place at the wrong time.
there are lots of reasons that child could miscarry. i doubt very much any of them have anything to do with god.
Don't you think a new life is to important to leave to circumstances? Don't you think that kind of lack of nurturing from God is kind of irresponsible.
