Baby born with anencephaly to please jesus?

[Erinome]

She's reaching out to other women so they might have the strength to hold their children in their arms as well.

She could be, but I think it would be better if she was just generally supportive of women in the pregnancy crisis stage. Ya know, like telling them it's understandable if they can't go through with the pregnancy. Because it is. She's just telling them you should go through with it because she did... Oh! and it's what mr. jesus wants you to do.

Also, "my son's life had a greater purpose and can help others" =/= "my son is a tool".

Holy fuck. Do I have to quote her repulsive fucking blog again?

"This journey continues as God uses Grayson's life to bring people to Himself."

If I have a leaky faucet, I use a wrench to fix it. I suppose you just pray? Anyway, unless she donated her son's body to science, I don't see how she's helping. She's just spouting on about her jesus shit.

Strength? Yeah right. If she had any real strength, she wouldn't have to soothe herself with insane religious justifications for why the fuck her god made her baby with such a horrible defect. She'd realize that there is no god, and if there is, then he's a wretched prick who used her son to make more people fucking love him.

As Christians, we always want our lives to be about making the world a better place, and I am sure she also wanted that for her son's short life as well.

That was the most hilarious all-encompassing load of horse shit I've read all day.

It's a bit shameful I think, to talk about how being pro-life might make "other women feel bad" and "that's not nice" but if she has the audacity to talk about her son's life maybe helping other people in the same situation, she is "fucking sick" and thinks "her son is a tool".

Shameful? To suggest that other women in her situation should go through with it, and for all reasons, because god wants them to... to make them out as murderers because they can't deal with it emotionally is fucking shameful. Eight hours after her baby was born, her god murdered her baby. So let me get this shit straight- woman terminates no brained baby before he's born= sinful murderous bitch. god kills infant by giving him no brain after he is born= great guy, perfect, merciful, loving, and worthy of praise?????

Give me a fucking break.

You can fake a happy smile as well, but I do believe also the smile is authentic.

If one is at ease already, yes one can fake a real smile. In a time such as this, it would be more difficult and there would be inconsistencies. I also believe the smile is authentic, which kinda makes me want to throw up.

For her, while she might be very sad, I am sure she was also very happy as well, because that was the birth of her son, the only time she could hold him and love him.

I've tried to put myself in her shoes. I know the joy of having 4 children. Fortunately I haven't felt the tremendous sorrow of losing one of them. When I try to put myself in her place, I can't even muster a smile. If I had just a few short hours to love on my baby, and I knew it... I think I would just want to be alone, save a few close family members, and have a thoughtful, peaceful time with him while I could. I don't think I would see it as a time to pass him around to everyone and stare at a camera saying "CHEESE!".

Different people respond emotionally in different ways.

That's true, and you can judge a person's general mentality and character by the way they respond to it. That's pretty much what I've been doing.

I remember when I was visiting my great aunt, who I loved very dearly, in the hospital. I knew she was going to die very soon. But yet she was still HER and we could still joke and I smiled for real, just to spend time with her was a happy thing.

I'm assuming your aunt had a brain and could make jokes. I am also assuming that she lived for longer than a day, and that was appropriate. My best friend died almost 20 years after being diagnosed with HIV. His last words were, "I'm sorry I have to leave you here alone with all these idiots." I laughed though my tears. He would've been terribly offended if I hadn't, anyway. He faded into a coma shortly after that. I don't think I laughed again for a month. Death is hard, but I am not saying that you can't sit with a dying loved one and laugh/be happy that they're still with you. I am saying that to pass around your dying child like a cool new christmas present is pretty fucking weird... and creepy.

Then the sadness would hit like "this might be the last time I see her" (and it was) and then I started crying. (I am crying now honestly).

You see her all around you all the time. You're just not educated enough about physics to realize that.

Maybe you are different, sure. Maybe you would not be able to smile when spending precious time with a loved one on their deathbed. But please don't project. If she "hated her baby" as you accuse her of, I don't think she would smile a genuine smile when she held him in her arms.

I doubt she hated her baby. I think she was smiling because she enjoyed the attention.
