I know it’s been said but I’m just at a loss for words at the insensitivity tonight.
As someone with no children who’s just gone through their fourth loss in a year, I have been seeking comfort in Instagram this evening, watching the flood of candles and words and stories of support, including influencers raising awareness and encouraging donations to pregnancy research charities, grasping at any story I can relate to to feel a little less alone and give me hope next years might be different.
What I didn’t expect to see amongst the wave of light was an ‘influencer’ with 4.2 mil tend followers banging on about decorating a nursery that I would give anything to be able to do. Heck, buying a single baby grow would be a huge milestone. But instead of reaching out to her vulnerable followers, she acts like a complete prat and quickly posts something three hours later as an insulting afterthought on an undisclosed ad for her shitware range. Theres just no words.
