Saoirseandmama #2

[Chatty9]

I agree with all the posts about privacy. Roseanna might be so distraught that she's not thinking straight. Maybe a family member should suggest waiting a while before posting any more. It's obviously her choice but she may regret it. The photo of FR reading her a story 'after she passed' like was Saoirse lying beside her in that photo and they decided to take a photo?? Instagram or not I just can't imagine taking those photos. I have never taken a photo at any funeral that I can recall.

And I don't mean to sound harsh, but she needs to recognise that little girl is a separate person, entitled to her own identity.

The oversharing and exploitation of what should be private moments is horrendous. On top of that, she probably barely understands what has happened, and she definitely has no concept of how her privacy is being violated.

So many children are going to have longterm consequences from being used in this way, for the sake of content. It's actually very sad and frightening to think about.

I totally agree.

Maybe family and friends are too scared to intervene for fear of upsetting her. Or maybe they have intervened and got nowhere. Anyway it needs to stop, it's so inappropriate and unfair on the sister

 

[CCeye]

This is her definition of holding back from posting the private stuff. Anytime they say that, they always post the "private" stuff and say that the followers asked for it and if it helps one person blah blah blah. I wouldn't put it past this one to post a picture of the wake.

Its getting out of hand now, everyday theres a new post up, so soon after burying her child. Can't understand it myself. Thankfully I have never been in her situation, but I know if I was I would'nt be able to function let alone post private things on a public forum. The whole thing is beyond strange

And the thought going into the bio on the instagram. I couldn’t even imagine thinking that or being bothered about it a month after my little girl died. She needs to realise Instagram is a pile of shit it’s great if it distracts her but my god share about the weather or something not her daughter reading to her dead daughter, their private moments talking or her husband watching the game with the photo. I’m actually in shock her youngest is not old enough to consent to anything being posted so it absolutely should not be posts of her.

Yeah the photo of 'dada' with the framed picture? Like how does that conversation go...let me take your photo and put it up for the world to see? Jesus christ if that tragedy happened to myself and my husband I think he would sign me into Lomans or strangle me if I went kn like that. He is obviously as bad as her letting it go on. The whole thing is nuts
---

Guaranteed you’re spot on. Within a week of the poor child dying she was back on social media. In fact she filmed from inside the hearse. I know of no one who thinks that’s normal.

If that was my child I would'nt be able to look at the coffin let alone be thinking oh I must film this for instagram.
---

I was at one as a child, a sudden death too. I’m still haunted by her mother at the church, so consumed by grief, oblivious to the hundreds of people there to pay their respects. To this day, I’ve never seen anyone at a funeral as visibly broken as she was that day. I wonder would my feelings be different had her mum whipped out a phone to record any of it.

Totally agree with you, I was at one childs funeral. A 5 year old little girl that went to school with my daughter. She had cancer. My god it was horrific. The parents had her coffin in the morning car with them. They were so distraught the mother could'nt get out of the car. I will never forget it as long as I live. It changed me as a person seeing that. Nothing posted on social media even though they had a page going. Just all very dignified not like Saoirse mam.
---

The latest stories. She is using Instagram as a diary to heaven. Some things people don't need to know.

I know the one today....happy Friday Saoirse?

 

[Ellegee]

Omg how utterly sad the poor young one saying can I say it then the mother saying shush in background till the child says the right thing.
Talk about things being rehearsed it's so sad to see why just why let the little girl be a child not put on show to so many strangers

Awful to hear her saying love you at the end of that when she has no clue it’s nearly 146,000 strangers looking at her

 

[Jollyolly]

So uncomfortable. Like is it an #AD?

Exactly.... and Iikely they have absolutely nothing to do with it. Tough situation though if they ask her to remove it no doubt she'll put them on blast and they'll be absolutely vilified.

I think she is vile. These are not the actions of someone who is demented with grief and doesn't know left from right. It's very very calculated (filming content for use after the child had passed away). She should be ashamed of herself if 'Dada' had a set of balls he'd take his other daughter and get her fuck out of that shit show.

 

[petal1]

No one in that family has her best interests at heart at the moment.

.
Isn't this the truth.

Poor little FR. Her whole life from birth was with Saoirse very sick, which would have made for a far from ideal early childhood. Wouldn't you think, now Saoirse is gone, the last thing they'd want for their precious FR is for her to be on social media? I'd want to keep her safe and certainly wouldn't want thousands of strangers to recognise her by name.

I just can't understand Mama at all. Her one remaining baby and she has her front and centre on Instagram and the child still in playschool

 

[Quackers]

I’m not sure why she feels the need to tell us this either. Go or don’t go it’s a private family function.

 

[petal1]

Read the caption under the reel, detailing what each image / video is of.
---

Oh wow. I hadn't seen the captions either - had just watched the reel on her story. That is shocking to me. So many private moments and so many 'lasts' shared publicly. The poor child couldn't have consented to being shared like this. Poor FR too. It's all very wrong.

 

[Hunzosrus]

The latest reel, it's like something your phone would make and you sit on the couch crying to, getting through your grief in your own private way. Except she's sharing it with the world. Whoever called it grief porn hit the nail on the head

And then sharing it to the story, covering it with the "New Post" thing... That's what influencers do to get people to look at their grid posts. Like there's something exciting you're missing if you don't click into it.

 

[Ellegee]

I have never been at one but my brother attended one a few years ago of a sudden death, and he could hear the mother's wailing as he walked to the door of the house Absolutely heartbreaking I agree with others that sharing anything like those private moments tarnishes them, for me anyway, I keep them close to me and tell no one things my father said in his last days, things I said and did. It's too precious but SM means people just don't seem to get that a lot of the time now.. just regular Joe's included.

I was at one as a child, a sudden death too. I’m still haunted by her mother at the church, so consumed by grief, oblivious to the hundreds of people there to pay their respects. To this day, I’ve never seen anyone at a funeral as visibly broken as she was that day. I wonder would my feelings be different had her mum whipped out a phone to record any of it.

 

[Chatty9]

We don't celebrate our dogs birthday, like maybe a quick passing oh he's 5 this week and a treat of a bone or something. She had personalised banner and everything. It seems like she is thinking up any ways to post something. I cant imagine thinking to do that if I'd lost my child 8 weeks ago

 

[whocarez]

Omg she needs Instagram deleted. If there are family and friends reading here get her off Instagram! strangers likes and comments arnt going to make things better

 

[ChastityDingle]

I mean what has the world come to when someone is tagging a fucking flat white at their child's grave.

Exactly. I'd say someone needs to have a word but I can well imagine she would eat them without salt.

I think she got addicted to the 'fame' and now she can't let go. Fair enough, document her own story, if it helps. There's no denying the terrible loss, she, her husband and family have suffered. It's horrendous.

But she is robbing the little girl of her privacy, as well as (imo) disrespecting Saoirse RIP, with her ongoing sharing of what should be private memories.
And as long as saddos are encouraging her with their comments and likes, she will keep on doing just that.

 

[Clau]

That's horrendous, and I hope you're doing OK.

I am presuming here, but somehow I doubt you're posting to nearly 150k followers, and instead sharing to an audience of people you mostly know. I'd also guess that you're not intertwining those posts with collabs and advertising businesses, or sharing events alongside snippets from the funeral, and worse. Perhaps my presumptions are wrong, but if they're right, then that's a whole different scenario.

As myself and my husband say, we’ll never be ok ever again.
Your presumptions are all correct.
I empathise with Roseanna as her pain and heartache is what I’m going through each and every day. I don’t agree with the posting from the grave and showing the little girl at the grave and showing a coffee cup in front of a grave. Perhaps having being so public on all that poor Saoirse endured she feels she has to continue

 

[Dusty2020]

Does anyone know why FR always has that brown bandage thing around her elbow? I just seen a post now where the mother is showing a memory of Saoirse and she has the bandage around her arm.., obviously an IV line for medication. Is she just letting FR wear it to get attention? Very strange

It’s a hay band for hayfever sorry your comment has me in stitches

 

[Chatty9]

There is a teddy bear in that photo with an arm around it.

Yes I noticed that too when I watched it back. That's her favourite Teddy, she had it on the late late all the time so I imagine she was laid out with it or maybe even buried with it. Why would you think to take a photo of that to share publicly. And other people sharing it is creepy

 

[ChastityDingle]

I don't follow her, never did, but I have taken an odd look from time to time via instanavigation or similar.
I thought the tagging about her tan and her dress was bad enough at an event, where she accepted an award given posthumously to Saoirse. But tagging a coffee shop at her graveside, what next? Seriously.

 

[Noseymc123]

What’s the purpose of posting such a beautiful private family moment with young children involved on public forum of strangers at the same time requesting privacy for the funeral etc., quite rightly. Dignity is privacy.

Sure Rachel gorry made fortune out of selling her kids privacy when there dad died.

 

[Hunzosrus]

Maybe in some way does she feel obliged to share so much giventhat Saoirse was labelled "The Nations Child"... I cant recall who put this label on her ? I know it was on a balloon.

Either Mamma herself, or one of her friends did. The balloon was the only mention of it, nowhere else did I see or hear any mention of it.

I said it before, but the harsh reality is, she wasn't the Nation's child. Sure, much of the nation was very fond of her and admired her due to her story, and rightly so. It's awful what happened, and no one would wish it on anyone... but many more probably haven't thought of her since she died, and in the years to come fewer and fewer people will speak of her. That's just life, and putting a title on her won't change that.

 

[Get off my chest]

She needs to fucking stop the posting.



This is coming from someone who has lost my whole family the last few years... Dad .. Mam... all grandparents..

I agree with the pp.. its attention seeking..

And its disgusting..
