Having a birthday party every year for a dead baby

So a chick I know had a baby die at 1 month old like 5 years ago. Sudden infant death deal.
She has a full birthday party every year with cake and stuff. Sends out invitations. Encourages people to bring presents which she then donates somewhere.
I know we all grieve in our own way but this doesnt seem particularly healthy.

I hope you never lose a child. You have no clue what sort of special hell that is.
And so what? She celebrates the birth of her child, and donates the gifts to a worthy cause. Who is she hurting exactly?

Probably one of the creepiest things I've ever heard of.

To be honest, I would probably be a lot crazier than that.
If that's all she does, I don't see the big deal.

That's not healthy. I can't imagine going through something like that but having a birthday party is a bit over the top. I don't see a problem with the donations, though.

Show up every year to the birthday and drop the phrase "seems like your child is running a lite late for their own party"

It's probably a healthy way for her to get others to console her.

Sounds weird, but I've never lost a child, which has got to be one of the most devastating things ever, especially at such a young age. There was that social media post that went viral a year or two ago of the guy holding his baby that he would knew would die shortly after birth. I found it pretty disturbing to share such a thing with the world, but like others have said, I've never been in that situation so I try not to judge. I doubt I would grieve in such a way.

People handle things so differently. I know of someone who not only kept their child's room exactly as it was, but when they built a new house, recreated that room. We, OTOH, dismantled our son's room rather quickly, and looking back, that was just strange and makes me feel bad. His wheelchair was donated within a week. I don't even know where my mind was.

That's fricked up. She has some issues she needs to work through.
Posted on 9/11/15 at 9:51 am to Cosmo
Yeah, that's a bit strange.. Sounds like she may need to try and move on as hard as it may be. It's a nice gesture for her to donate the gifts though.
