There's not much to understand.

Facebook is a true addiction for some folks. Just go to a public place and look at groups of people that are there together and all on their phones rather than enjoying their day and talking to one another.

It's insanity.

Yeah that's a little strange. I could see doing that for the first year, but after that it's almost attention whorish.


Of course. I hope I never hope to experience that and have no idea what she's going through so let her keep doing it.

What those who don't belong to "the club" don't understand is, there is no moving on, "it" doesn't get better. You really don't want to understand what it's like. Just let us be.

Sounds like the dude that killed the young kid on the 4 wheeler. I think he went straight to Facebook for some sympathy.

The strange part to me is that she invites people. Not sure I could be friends with her if she kept inviting me to something creepy like this. Now if she simply donated a few gifts each year on his birthday in remembrance, I could see that and might even donate a few with her.

Does she hold birthdays for her dead grandparents, cousin s, parents, etc?

Of course not. This is creepy as frick and psychologically not right. Just don't show up.

That's a very very morbid way of getting donations.

Now if she were to send out a card remembering her kid and asking for a donation to a charity, fine.

I would have to shower or do shots after singing HBD to a 1mnth old that died 5 years earlier.

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.


She has some issues. She needs to see a therapist. Real Talk. That is just not healthy.

The gift idea is great, but man how awkward must that be for people to actually participate in that?

Some of you people (thankfully) don't have a clue what that is like.


Obviously you do, and I am sorry about that. But if you are having a bday party for a dead child every year, you need to seek therapy. Like I said, the gift idea is noble and great, but having the party is creepy as frick, and the mom needs some help.

I laughed. I'm sorry. I also had a older brother who died after three days. My parents were hurt but they got over it.

A friend of mine posted pictures of his still born daughter on facebook with a pretty emotional write up. I don't think facebook is the place for that. Unfortunately some people do. I personally think it's a cry for attention. Some people deal with death in ways most consider weird/odd/morbid. Some if not most of those people need professional help.

I ended up getting a therapist after my brothers suicide because for 6 months after his death I had basically become this.

He was sick for about three weeks and I brought him to the doctor six different times. Fever of unknown origin was pretty much it, until the third week, was finally diagnosed with a raging ear infection. Doctor considered hospitalizing him, but decided to give him antibiotic shots, instead. One on Monday morning, Monday night, Tuesday morning. He was better by Tuesday night, so he was cleared to go to the sitter and I went to work on Wednesday morning. Last time I saw him as a normal baby, he was laughing and smiling as I handed him to the sitter. Got a call at work at 11:00 am saying he was on his way to Lafayette General. Probably suffered a seizure, not sure, but he stopped breathing. Sitter's husband did CPR and he was bagged all the way to the hospital. Comatose for three weeks, but had suffered profound brain damage. Functioned like a newborn for the rest of his life. Also, cortically blind, which means he couldn't process anything visually.

Many, many what ifs. What if I'd stayed home? What if the doctor had hospitalized him? Etc.


frick, I need a drink after reading this......

I don't know you or your situation, so I'm only speaking to the one mentioned in the OP. I also don't know the context of your reply.

It would be relatively easy to leave her be if she weren't sending out invitations for a month old kid that has been gone for five years. It's sad that she has to deal with that, but after five years, it's time to seek professional help.

Better than suicide, which is probably what I'd do if that happened to me.

Seems like a good way to remember her baby and get toys/clothes to a charity for children.

I'd go if she was my friend.
