I wish we would have had that available when my 5 day old nephew passed away unexpectedly. There just wasn’t enough time to say goodbye to him. They took him right away within an hour of his passing.
And how many abortions are performed? Let’s think for one minute about a new baby being placed in a parents arms that could be saved and be loved.......
And how many women are forced into pregnancy and just don't want one? Let's think for a minute about the irreversible mental, physical, and emotional impact on the women who are pregnant and have to make the choice of abortion. If you have never been in a position of where you might have to get an abortion (for ANY reason), you CANNOT speak on the topic. Pregnancy is dangerous, why would you force someone to go to full term with it? Don't bring this here, grieve with or for the families who have decided to go with the pregnancy and unfortunately have lossed a life. I for one am happy that hospitals are providing a way for the people affected to grieve. Edit: Even women who work as surrogates, in most cases if ANYTHING happens that results in the baby not being born in COMPLETE PHYSICAL health, these women don't get paid for their time and body being used an incubator.
I too like saying irrelevant things. Great point though Annie. How many kids have you adopted? How much money have you donated for organizations that deal with foster care? How many hours have you volunteered for them? Any letters or phone calls to congress to pass child protection laws to keep them safer in foster care? In 2021 when you commented this, CDC reported 625k abortions. These are any kind at any stage. There were about 400k kids in foster care in 2021. These are any kids up through 18. Those two numbers are pretty close… I’m kind of thinking it’s not really about the kid, it’s about wanting to control what the person does. Strangely enough, both foster care numbers and abortion numbers are going down.
I am not judging, really I am not. This is a horrible tragedy and I can only imagine the pain this couple must feel and will forever. Although I have lost many people very close to me, a fiance who I was with for over 10 years, my brother in law, gma and the list goes on. I do understand wanting and willing to do or give anything if there was only some way to have even 1 more minute with your loved one.... but with them alive. I can't understand how this is for one legal and for two how any health care professional would or even has the authority to allow parents to do this. I don't see any positive from parents of a stillborn baby being allowed time with their dead baby. I only see this further traumatizing them and with the parents (especially the mother) mental health developing into an extreme depressive and even delusional state. It is hard enough to think that you are bringing a child into this world, where both parents are there and where this baby was wanted and going to be cared for and loved properly, then losing it. Then you allow the DEAD child to be held and fake fed and fake diaper changed like it's a doll. This is ludacris.
The difference with your losses is that you had the chance to make memories with those people. Parents of stillborn babies have not had that chance, so the cuddle cot allows them to spend very precious time with their baby making some memories. How dare you comment using the word ‘ludicrous’ ... your comment is disgusting.
You're disgusting. Who the hell are you to judge someone like that when you've never lost a child yourself? I hope to God that these parents and others don't see this comment. I lost my daughter to SIDS when she was only 3 weeks old. We were fortunate enough to get to know her and these parents weren't. They can grieve however they choose and you have no right to say terrible things during such a horrendous time. The baby was there's and they got to spend time with their baby before they couldn't ever see her again.. YOU need to learn some compassion and let go of that nasty ignorance of yours, you should be ashamed. YOU don't get to choose what's right and wrong with others and THEIR children.
We live in a society that frowns upon death. This is a recent phenomenon. Throughout human history, families would grieve for a long time with their deceased loved ones. There is nothing gross or disturbing about grieving the loss of a precious member of the family. It's healing. It's good to know you never suffered such a tragic loss as a baby. Hope you never do. Nevertheless, please be respectful of the masses who want just one last moment before saying goodbye forever.
Perhaps if you don't understand something you should take the opportunity to listen. These parents explained that it was comforting to get to perform some acts of care for their child. Many do this for dead loved ones that they knew (eg. washing and brushing the hair of the deceased), and it makes even more sense for a parent who never got to take care of their child. As long as the body's deterioration is monitored and psychological help is provided, families should do what will help them process their grief.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but happy you were allowed time with her, my parents lost a baby in 1957 and they wouldn't let my Mom see her baby...
My mom lost a baby in 1967, same thing.
My daughter lost her newborn last week. It’s the worst pain !
Prayers for all the baby angels 👼🏼
🕯✝️💙🙏🏽🕊💫👼🏼
Awe prayers for this family😳🙏

I’m so sorry. My daughter just lost her 6 week old son.
Forever loved
I’m so sorry for the loss of Francie. Forever your sweetheart

I as well lost a child 40 years ago, but life goes on.

What a horrible thing to comment on such a sensitive video.
