(TRIGGER WARNING) Miscarriage and Stillborn awareness month photo controversy
Okay, first off if this topic breaks the rules in any way, please feel free to delete. And I'm sorry if I am breaking the rules.
Okay, as many of you may know, this month is miscarriage and Stillborn awareness month. I think it's great for women (like myself) who have suffered such a great loss, have a month where we can break our silence and share our stories.
Now the reason why I'm posting here is because on Facebook I have a friend who has suffered 9 losses. I feel for her deeply and I'm amazed by her strength that she is so open and honest about it. However the other day (TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!) she posted a picture of her recent loss without a trigger warning and without going into detail, the photo was intense. While I get and respect why she did that, I must say that I was shocked to see the image (because of my own personal issues, yeah I'm lame). And I know her job isn't to cater to me, but because we have so many friends in common who have gone through the same thing, I think there should have been a warning since everyone reacts differently. So do you think there should have been a trigger warning when she posted the picture? Or am I being overly sensitive?
And by no means am I trying to bash her and I really hope my post doesn't come off as such, because that is not my intention.
