Feel so sad. Are they unfair? Is it hormones?

I lost my DD in November. It's been a very difficult time, but thankfully it feels easier to manage now. Although the pain is still so, so raw.

DH's sister has got her own DC to make wreaths for her other brother and his wife's baby that died at a similar gestation to mine. She also has candles on display for them and has put a huge FB status about how she's thinking of them, loves them, etc.

Am I being silly to feel hurt that nothing of my baby is mentioned? Never is.

I just feel so emotional. Thank goodness I'm at my Mum's for Christmas otherwise I think it would have broken me Sad

No, that’s really mean.
I’d call her out on it, or defriend her from social media and if she asks explain why.

It’s so sad 😞

I think coming away from social media would be a very sensible option or certainly having a break

Take care of yourself

flowers for you.

That does seem unkind and unfair.

Have you always been more private about your loss, and they’ve been more public?

Maybe worth a quiet word explaining your feelings to them, else they won’t know how you feel.

Loveisland No, I'd say we are equally as open about it. Me perhaps more so?

Could it be they thought it might be two raw for you. Like too much of a reminder too soon. and then did not know the wife would put them on social media?
Grief can be difficult for people to understand (not that their feeling should be any concern or priority over yours in this situation) and they thought it might be to much for you.
If they've been a good support for you other than this I'd think maybe have a little word or get husband to. If they haven't I'd mute them for a while so that you can have space to deal with things how you need to
