Religious Woman keeping Miscarried baby

[Jary08]

I wonder if anyone on here has heard about it?

On a forum im a member of, someone posted a thread on a woman who had had a miscarriage and kept the baby. Sorry i dont have the link but it showed pictures of her with the baby and her chilren holding it....i think the baby was about 4/5 months gestational age.

Basically, everyone was saying how disgusting and sick it was and thought it funny that they had put a little hat on the babys head. Now i know the woman will need professional help as she sounds very upset by this and i completely understand, as will some of you on here, but i couldnt believe how some commenters were being so horrible about it. It seemed no-one understood tht this would have been a very traumatic time for her.

I just wondered what you ladies think of it...if i find the link again ill post it.

Neither of the places I found the pictures/story mentioned what religion she was ...just that she was "religious".  I'm the same way when it comes to learning about different religions or cultures ...even tho I may not agree with their beliefs, I still like to learn about it.

Did you happen to see what religion she is? I'm very curious! I love reading about different cultures and such...

I'm definately not judging her for her actions, but I definately do not agree with her actions. Most religions believe that the soul leaves the body when we die. I would be curious to know what religion she is that encourages her to keep the body.

I did a little googling about this story ...one site linked it to the bodybuilding.com one and added this:

"Note: the child is still alive. How long it stayed alive for I do not know.

Apparently according to the woman's religion, she must treat the child like any other normally born baby."

Of course, from still photographs, you can't tell if the baby is alive or dead ...or, truthfully, if it's even a real fetus.  In the age of computers and internet, and in truth, ever since the invention of photography, there's been a lot of fakery and forgery.  I would hate to think there's anyone out there sick enough to fake pictures like this to get attention ...but it takes all kinds.

If this woman truly lost her child ...I hope she gets the help she needs and can find peace.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone, the people on that site and the forum i found it on were pretty nasty. I do agreee that theres so far you can go after losing a child. Hopefully she will get help and perhaps she will bury the child somewhere privately? I do hope she can move on though, it could very well pose a health risk if shes keeping a dead baby with her.

A lot of people mentioned the other kids..it perhaps would have been better if they wernt allowed to see the child...they wouldnt really understand what death is about.

I just hope this childs spirit is peacfully resting in the Summerlands.
