I think people do it bc it’s their way of healing. But to each their own. I wouldn’t.
I personally have no problem with a post itself but there shouldn't be a picture. I've seen things I didn't want to because people post it with no warning. I just think as a society we share way too much on social media with no regard for the impact it has on other people or even ourselves.
Coping mechanism? A lot of people do a lot of things others don't understand because they haven't been through it? I know people who continually post about dead relatives every year/birthday that passed etc, I purely think it's just their way of coping, when people comment/give attention perhaps in some way it doesn't make them feel alone? Just an idea haha, I personally don't think posting is necessary 🤷🏻♀️
Don't see a problem with posting about it but, yeah, a picture of it is a bit weird.
I think miscarriages are harder for women to go through as it's not talked about enough so many women don't know what to expect. I think it's great people can talk about it more now than in the past and we can support each other. That said a picture is a bit much and should come with a trigger warning.
I fully understand you . I think a post is fair enough but I’ve seen full on grown still birth photos on here and sometimes without a trigger warning and it gives me such anxiety the whole day and I even cried a couple times , especially being pregnant . I get needing that support and it being a coping mechanism but it affects other people too 🤷🏽♀️
I really don’t understand why people post a picture to be honest. If my child died aged like 3, there’s no way I’d post a picture online of them dead?? So why is it “acceptable” to post a picture of a dead baby? It’s got to be one of the most awful things to go through but I really don’t understand the posting of a literal dead child online, I really don’t like to see it😢 Someone posted their baby on Facebook who passed at around 22 weeks and it honestly scared me, the poor thing wasn’t even fully formed it was horrendous to see. Horrendous for them to go through I know, but seeing that is just not necessary. And then all the people commenting “oh he was so beautiful” blah blah. No. You are outright lying because the poor thing wasnt ready to be born yet and barely resembled a baby😭
It could be because it's a freaking scary and lonely experience to go through. I never posted a picture but I did talk about it
It’s such a tough time. So heart breaking. I feel it is not necessary to post a picture with the post as it can be triggering.
