This is why social media is
toxic.
On one hand, it’s great. It’s great to raise awareness about different issues. I.e the awareness Ash and Safiyya raised around childhood cancers, leukaemia and the stem cell donor register. Amazing.
On the other hand. Totally inappropriate to share images and videos of a deceased child in the chapel of rest so publicly. If you want to share these moments do it in a private group that consists of your family and close friends. Totally inappropriate to share images and videos of parties and fireworks in a cemetery. So disrespectful to the other families who want to visit their loved ones. Though this has been said countless times on here.
Making a brand which is basically merchandise of your deceased child. I have no words. You make a brand when you want to earn a profit. If you don’t want to earn a profit do what Ash and Safiyya have done and create a foundation. A
non-profit organisation that makes grants to other organisations, institutions or individuals for a charitable purpose.
I’d have more respect for the woman if she went down that route for a foundation to support SEN parents and carers and bereaved families. But sadly no. Just 10% of a profit donated to a charity at the moment.
It’s obvious. She enjoyed the insta life. She enjoyed the ads. She enjoyed the money. Now, she’s stuck and has no idea how to get the ads back.
I wouldn’t wish her situation or losing a child on anybody, but she really needs professional support, and advice on finances. I know plenty of parents who have lost their children and as soul destroying and devastating as it is, they have all returned to their jobs to provide for themselves. Social media is not the answer.
Rest in eternal peace J
