To find Kim Marsh's wedding pictures in incredible bad taste

daily mail alert

Selling your wedding pictures may not be to my taste but each to their own but making money out of posing in your wedding dress with your dead son's ashes leaves an incredibly bad taste in my mouth.

I understand if she'd wanted to take the ashes as a private tribute but exploiting it for financial gain I find frankly disgusting.

weird response to my post, MrsDeVere. and i didn't say i wasn't influenced by television, i guess what i said was that i don't take it personally when drama doesn't accurately reflect the normal experience of life, death and loss. drama is by definition looking for the dramatic.

OwlLady that's an interesting point about people being scared it will happen to them and one I was thinking about earlier. I remember quite a few years ago talking with a woman whose colleague had suffered a miscarriage, she was pregnant at the time and felt like she didn't want to talk to this colleague because it brought home to her her own fears about her baby.

I remember feeling sad for the colleague.

Hopefully this whole debate will highlight some factors surrounding a child's death.

Oh Martha - I feel for you as know what you mean about your arms feeling empty of your own baby. Even after my two gorgeous dds are born , I am sitting here sympathising with tears in my eyes as I feel the gap my son left .

marthas I'm so sorry for you Sad

I know how those empty arms feel and I know you can't imagine it now but whilst there will always be a gaping hole in you heart this pain does get somewhat easier to bare. Be kind to yourself Smile

oh thank you gigondas and sara i really wanted to make the point that i am not hoiking my bosom to nip out and take a baby. I love my friends' babies, they are adorable. But not mine.

Just wanted to dispel the myth thymeout
