re: Having a birthday party every year for a dead baby

My cousin lost 2 children, both born with complications, one at age 3, the other at age 5. She is a completely different person, a shell of her former self. Never seems happy, completely disheveled, probably 75 pounds overweight (previously healthy, attractive) no motivation. It's awful.

I agree let her deal with her lost however she chooses.

How so?
It just seems to be a bit much having a full-on birthday party. Like I said, the donations part is still a good thing.

Sending out invites to celebrate this is absolutely a means for attention. Keep it a private family celebration. Donate your own god damn gifts.

forcing your friends and family to buy shite for someone not around and have the momma act like a great person for donating everyone else's purchases?

It's hard to predict, but I'm pretty sure I would be an alcoholic hermit who cried all the time

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.

I said let the woman grieve however she chooses but I may attend the first if she was a friend of mine but after that I would not attend again.

Damn. I'm sorry, Darla.
Posted on 9/11/15 at 9:48 am to Cosmo
That's fricked up. She has some issues she needs to work through.

Couldn't imagine Darla

She does have issues, but I must say SIDS was the biggest fear of mine when my son was born 10 weeks early.
I couldn't sleep and my anxiety was through the roof. I watched him sleep, called the doctor about every little thing, etc.
I was a lunatic

IMO that is something that other people have no right to call strange or wrong.
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.

Well, they're not buying shite "for the baby". Sounds like mom is donating the items from the group in memory of her child not "from Ms. Doe".

And? Maybe she doesn't want people to forget. some of y'all are goddamn heartless.

She doesn't appear to be forcing anyone to buy gifts. You simply could choose not to attend. Let the person grieve in her own way I say. I could not imagine losing a child. I probably wouldn't grieve in this way, but who am I to judge?
