Do you post loss related stuff on facebook?

Lately, I have been posting loss related articles and stories on my face book. I guess I don't really care if other people don't like to see sad stories. Do you do the same or do you keep stuff like that off facebook?

I do the same thing and like you I don't care if people don't like it.  It's my life now.  I also want to teach others that what happened to all of us is more common than most people think or know.

I posted about losing Patricia, then I posted the link to her sunset, and most recently the Christina Perri video that I posted here. That's it so far. I never really was much of a poster anyway, I updated my status maybe a couple of times a year.

Part of me wants to post more about our loss, but I'm not sure if it's because I want to educate people or because when I see all the happy posts sometimes it makes me sad and I want to lash out and burst people's bubbles. So I've been holding back. Not because I care if they do or don't want to see sad stories, but more because I'm not sure it would help me.

Yes, I do post things.  I post things that I think are "eye openers" to the world that is bereaved parenthood, but I also post things to encourage or help relate to the other loss moms I am friends with.  I think that the subject of baby loss is too taboo.  I don't throw it in people's faces, and I'm very careful about my posts, but I don't hide my grief and healing either.  I just posted a note about a blog related to upcoming Mother's Day.  I don't do it for attention, I do it for awareness.   I think the people that truly care about me know and understand that.

I'm the opposite. It's not that I don't want people to be uncomfortable because I don't care. But I think I'm still so fiercely protective of Ethan and other angel mamas, I become like, Lion Mama, if that makes sense?

I remember one friend who, God bless her she meant well, texted me that her sister in law went into preterm labor shortly after Ethan's birthday. I asked her if she thought I was an expert on the subject because of my son and she was flushed with embarrassment.

So a part of me does want to educate but a part of me wants to just really protect those who've gone through it.

Yes I post things. I post links, quotes, etc. Its another way for me to grieve and I don't care if people don't like it.

Sometimes. I've really backed off Facebook a lot since our loss. All the stupid status updates about what's for dinner & other lame stuff just irks me now. It's like, who cares? I've decided Facebook is just a way for people to show off. (on the flip side, I love seeing this stuff from my fellow loss mamas. I feel like we deserve these small happy moments. Hypocritical, I know.)

I've posted a few things, about our loss, thanking people for sending cards, etc. An article here & there and Nathaniel's sunset. Lately I've been posting a lot about the march of dimes mainly to try to raise $ for our walk.

Yup. If they don't like it, they can unfriend me.

I posted a few things on FB but not as much lately. I'm usually on here and I don't really care about whats going on with the FB world. I think I'm just tired of seeing people complain about stupid sh!t.

Whenever I update my blog I post it on my facebook. That way if someone wants to read it and learn more about what is going on with me, they can.

I don't. I have posted on FB about DS on his 1/2 birthday, 1st birthday, and Infant & Stillbirth Awareness Day.  Otherwise, I don't on a regular basis.
