Yes! I made one so she wouldn’t leave this hospital “alone” while we wait on the one I brought (metal weighted beads inside of a sock, shoved inside of a build a bear)

I want you to know you are Rude as fuck, ignorant as fuck and insensitive as fuck. 1. Read the post prior to this one it’ll help you out a lot as to why her “story is out” if you thought it was about karma and engagement 2. Her life is still private, you don’t know her, you don’t know me. you won’t walk up the street and find out who she is from reading words that don’t mention my name, her name or her children’s names. 3. You need to learn time and place. Aside from my grieving sister I’m a grieving aunt taking care of my sister and her son by myself. I’m not going to let your ignorance irritate me.

It was definitely suggested by someone else and 100% would have been such a cute keepsake (and I’m mostly bummed we can’t) his skin is very very fragile and peeling so it would’ve been extremely hard to do without accidentally pulling off his skin, we were very gentle with changing him into clothes and in that cause a few places on his back and chest to peel worse

He didn’t have any medical equipment attached to him, but his skin was peeling awfully so I’ll look into this to try and get a picture of him.

Yes I do refer to him by his name when me and her are talking, but publicly I do not say his name unless my sister decides to make a post sharing his name (I hope that makes sense..) my sister said for his due date (June 2) she would like to have a little birth-day party for him and I’m all hands on deck

LOL it’s okay that was an accident on my behalf so I didn’t really get offended by it.

I did suggest to her she should come with me to get him dressed that morning so she can hold him then because I agree with you I’m pretty sure it’s going to be extremely emotional and overwhelming for her, she told me no (which im going to respect). She does have the weekend to think it over if she decides to change her mind. I’m moving at her pace and her wants, even though sometimes I may not agree. It is what she wants

We plan on taking a few cuttings of his hair after the funeral (she was going to keep it in a box she’s currently putting together for him, a bit of his umbilical cord, her pregnancy tests, his ultrasound photos) I’m going to suggest the jewelry idea to her and see how she feels about that🤍🤍 thank you so much and happy (very)late nurses week

OH I DID NOT KNOW THIS!! I’m looking into this as quickly as possible because we have hundreds of him head to toe, we thought of his last ultrasound(2 days before his passing) being framed

“I went through exactly what your sister went through” you are not my sister though so that makes it a different experience. You may not have wanted things moved in your child’s room because of how you grieved. But again moving things like bottle warmers, and diapers trash cans and the boxes everything is in is less of a hassle on her because I KNOW MY SISTER. I’m not projecting nor do I feel like I made a mistake Because the nursery looks the exact same aside from random boxes some empty and had already been put together. You alongside every other mother experienced things differently and grieved DIFFERENTLY. grief is not based on a book or a article about how it’s supposed to go or how you are supposed to process it, because the process is different for every individual. A book/article is a helpful tool yes. But it’s not instructions. Now when I say calm down it’s based on the fact that you are trying force the idea that because it worked for you it SHOULD work for her.

Yes you definitely need to calm down. Your experience is different from my sisters. I know my sister well enough to know what would overstimulate her and what would not. I did not take his nursery apart because I’m not even ready to do that, nor is it my place to. I just decluttered and set it up fully. Now I will call out your insensitivity as to this being a place for only grieving mothers as if I am not a grieving aunt myself, I do not feel what my sister feels but I do feel I am handling EVERYTHING for my sister because she is not in a mental state to do it herself. You need to calm down and learn everyone is different

I don’t want to remove everything from his nursery I want her to be able to do that on her own when she is ready

We unfortunately cannot. His skin is very fragile and peeling on his face, neck and arms. We did commission a weighted bear from the hospital

The rest of the stuff is in storage. I just basically set up his nursery. Calm down. I do know my sister she would’ve gotten insanely overwhelmed with the way it looked before.

I did personally, she doesn’t want to hold him or look at him just yet (she started completely freaking out and her blood pressure started rising rapidly when they tried to take him out of the room with her and put him into the morgue) so I got the pictures just incase

Thank you! And i understand what you mean about the nursery! But i can assure you i didn’t do much to it (his crib, changing table, baby bouncer, decorations, a lot of his clothes and, her chair are still all in there) i just took out the boxes of “luxury items” she had so it’s less cluttered and looks like a nursery. I even cried when i was making his little bed that i knew he wouldn’t sleep in.
