[repentance]

That poor kid man, his fucking corpse has been shown all over the news for weeks because his horrific mom is in denial.

I'm not even convinced she's in denial rather than being opportunistic and riding this train for as much publicity and money as she can get.

I don’t think it’s drugs, but he does look odd in this photo. Like half asleep and annoyed. I was honestly wondering why they keep using it.

I don't know. But the fact that they use this picture reminds me of Madeleine McCann's parents using that vulnerable image of her after she disappeared. Why would they such an odd photo?

 

[kittyfucker]

Every day I come here hoping the poor kid is finally in the ground. Every damn day I'm absolutely baffled that he's still in the hospital

 

[HeinzBeanz]

With stillbirths and newborns they do allow this (there are chilled cribs for this purpose), you can even go home for a few days with your deceased baby. But that's a very different situation where you've had minimal or zero time with your child while alive.

I get the need to have these cribs in the hospital, so the family can spend time with the baby, with the hospital staff making sure that the crib is used.

But allowing them to take it home? It opens them up to parents in denial of the fact that their kid is dead, and I can easily see someone irrational with grief, or maybe just not smart enough to know to keep the child in that particular crib, so they go on holding it, co-sleeping with it, and pretty much treating it like a once-alive reborn doll while they refuse to acknowledge the fact it's decomposing. Horrifying indeed.

Oh, my sweet summer child. People in the world's most developed countries have been known to cart unembalmed relatives home and hang out with them a while or to have hospice leave a loved one in the front room for a bit. I do not know why. I wish I did not know what, when or where.

You should definitely not go to the Sammie Bushart thread and look up Kim. Definitely not.

 

[Brazilian Nutter]

I posted this earlier, but he won't have monitoring on. It's unnecessary and and a distraction for the family.

He will be connected to nothing at the end.

Yes you are right. But this is Hollie we are dealing with. I imagine it would be wise to be connected to something in this case, or she will be spouting off saying they killed him. She will be professing that he was attempting to breathe and they ignored it. Fits with her ‘hospital murdered my son’ narrative. She’ll be saying they held a pillow over his face too.

Fuck, I’d hate to be any member of staff that has had to be involved in this shit show, whatever their grade. Bet there are a couple of you lurking here, hope your mental health is surviving, fuck that bitch.

Let's all pour one out for every medical professional in that hospital who's had to perform necromancy or bear witness to it for three months and the psychological/emotional toll this must be having on them. Another start to their shift, another chunk of hours dedicated to reanimating a corpse with its insane mother bitching about you on Facebook all the while. Fucking harrowing.

Really, the best outcome would be slipping him something undetectable to stop his heart when she’s out on a breakfast show.

 

[CashMoney!]

Luckily his corpse is so fragile that it is likely to do that without interference.

It’s very common for the Scots and the Irish to do this (they are always embalmed now though).

We bring our dead home, lay them out in their coffins in a room then friends and relatives come to pay their respects. We laugh, drink, eat, sing, tell their stories and show old photographs to celebrate their life and mourn their passing.

It’s becoming less common now (which I personally think is a shame) and I will also say that the death of a child would be less likely to be marked in this way, probably because a child’s death goes against the natural order of life.

This article describes how we do things beautifully

I’m starting to wonder what the funeral will be like - somewhere between Ronnie Kray’s send off and a Big Fat Gypsy Wedding?

McDonald’s for the wake because it’s wut e wuda wanted?

Definitely not a low-key, family-only, donations-to-charity-in-lieu-of-flowers jobby.

Caring for unwell children is the worst. I’ve had plenty of shit my pants moments with critically unwell children but my heart really does go out to the medical staff looking after Archie. I couldn’t provide prolonged care to a child I know I can’t do anything for and have to watch undignified suffering every time I step into my place of work.

The circle of life is brutal, you grow old you die. Children shouldn’t die. But when they do, they deserve dignified endings and it’s held so special in the heart of all those involved. No one goes into healthcare to watch suffering, particularly paediatric care.

I predict a horse drawn hearse (because rottweilers aren't an option) with the horses wearing purple plumes, dozens of Limousines (probably decorated with purple ribbons), tacky flower displays (including gym equipment, a rabbit & that bloody monkey), vast amounts of purple helium balloons to facilitate the deaths of whatever wildlife is unfortunate enough to encounter them once they've landed and a massive piss up that descends into a brawl.

It'll be a 4 ring circus with bells on. I'm already pouring a measure for the poor sod of a funeral director who has to deal with Hollie.

 

[plinkyplonk]

Once they switch that vent off he won't last long. no breaths mean no oxygen exchange anymore. His heart will just become more hypoxic until it slows down and stops
It should be peaceful but depends on whether the mother tries to jump on his chest and do CPR. Hopefully, the hospital have got police there now to allow the staff to get on with their jobs and finally allow this child to pass with some shred of dignity.

I could swear there was a case where a woman provided this “service” for recently bereaved families. Would take the child to her home, had chilled cribs, would dress them, bath them, take photos, parents would visit etc.

Made the press because turned out she was more playing dollies with the corpses - had several in her home, would pose them watching tv and wierd shit.

Google’d but can’t find it now..

You forgot the go fund me 'to give him the send-off he deserves' she is following the Alfie Evans playbook and that's next on the grift list

Without going into too much detail, it genuinely feels like your torturing someone’s child for nobody’s gain. It’s emotionally and mentally damaging and has quite literally turned people I know away from nursing. Burnout in the NHS is already at a ridiculous high without situations like this joining the pile-on.

 

[Garbage.Theory]

I doubt those words will be used. Normally when someone is under that kind of stress there is an advance plan so they can be moved through anticipated steps, the individual steps just don't have a timer on them. I don't know a great way to express it, but people who deal with it a lot can spot when someone starts to "stall out" and nudge them along to the next step in the process. She won't be allowed to disrupt the other patients or parents.

It’s actually really comforting to know services and people like this exist. I’m pretty sure that the sanest of us would lose a bit of sense losing a child, it’s good that they have people to help them through.
Bust as @Barbarella said, she doesn’t know peace. And that quote struck me because it describes so much of low-class mentality. Even if they have money, all they know is fighting, they don’t know peace. Damn Barb, that quote can be the opening of a novel.
