Baby dust? A poll.... (trigger warning?)

  • I just want to add another TTGP voice stating that this poll is offensive. See PPs for all necessary explanation. Also I didn't TAKE the poll so your numbers are skewed.

    I am glad to see most people in the poll are like me, in the "lame" camp.   But I do think most people are missing my point. In a group that is supposed to be supportive, I think there are a lot more legitimized things to correct than a stupid term that nobody actually uses to refer to the loss of their child.

    Congratulations! You've completely lost touch with reality! =D>

  • This is disgusting, OP I have not been a member of the bump for long but I also lurk on TCF where some of the women unfortunately have been TTC for too many years and have never seen that term. I have had a loss 8 months ago, I did not cremate my baby boy I buried him in a graveyard and I still find this term offensive. I cringe everyone I see it.

    No, it IS a stupid term that REMINDS me that my baby girl is now dust.

    I am shaking, I am so freaking bothered by this.

    Do you see this?? This adorable little acorn? It is filled with dust that came from my baby. Thanks for the reminder.

    You are a horrid excuse for a human being. I lost my precious baby boy 19 weeks into my pregnancy. He was cremated. Never, ever show your face around The Bump again.
  • So many internet hugs to all of you who have experienced loss. This post is absolutely horrible.

    I learned my FIRST DAY on this board not to use that term... Ever. There really is no reason to make a poll. It's not like having it and finding the results to be in favor of your "shit stirrers" option would make the term any less offensive to those with a loss. Your "curiosity" could have been handled way differently.
