A Doll to cope with the loss of a child?🤔🤔 Just Curious!!

Question

I was reading this story about this girl who went to baby sit for her neighbor, but the parents left and she went to go check on the child and realized that the “child” was a doll. My question to you ladies is.. if you lost a child, would you try coping with it by putting a doll in that baby’s place? Or a different form of coping? I just know what it’s like to lose a child and wanted to ask... I apologize In advice if I offended anyone!🙏🏽❤️

Answer

These dolls *can* be useful under the guidance of a properly trained therapist or doctor. What you're describing is not healthy. I'd be very worried if my daughter came home and told me she just babysat a doll.

Answer

After my 4th miscarriage, I got a doll. She’s weighted, feels real, and was a little over $200 from Ashton Drake. I’m 21 weeks now with a healthy little boy, and the doll now belongs to my daughter so it worked out. The doll ALSO helped my daughter get through the losses, she has wanted to be a big sister so badly for the last 5 years. We played with and took care of the doll together, bought her clothes, and basically rebelled against the grief of losing yet another baby after the 4th time. Here’s some pics of “April” who now is our model for my baby Ben, due in Feb. Would I hire a babysitter for the doll? No not at all, but did she help? I’d say yes actually, a ton. Creepy? My husband sure thought so!!! For my daughter and I though, April was and still is a ton of fun, a reminder of happy times of baby shopping in the midst of so much grief, and mommy daughter bonding moments, “taking care” of her. 💖

Answer

I personally wouldn’t, a doll isn’t a living thing and cant love you back. I did get myself a puppy after I lost my little boy and that was a huge help
