While no one should suffer loss. And it is horrific when people do. I don’t feel this makes her news any more ‘special’. I feel that is unnecessary information for her ‘4+ million followers’. Is nothing private any more? Does she not consider all those women following her who may be at the end of their hope for their own child???
Yes everyone is entitled to their own lives but I hate how this will undoubtedly make so many of her followers feel. Instagram is utterly tit. Social media is full stop
Stacey is well within her rights to talk about her loss, just as any other woman is within her rights to talk about her loss. If more woman in the public do talk about it, it might help lose the stigma of it being a 'private family matter'.
If you are going to be triggered by a pregnancy announcement, you will be triggered by a pregnant woman in the street, it's just going to happen and we have to try and maneuver that feeling as healthily as we can. It doesn't matter if she put trigger warnings or not, the emotion is still going to cascade through a woman triggered by pregnancy when she sees that stick or that scan photo.
Good on Stacey for speaking about her loss, more women should.
Thinking of any women who may have been triggered by the announcement and huge congrats to SS.
