I know of a woman who has had two miscarriages. She passed the first fetus and kept it sealed in a paper bag in the freezer. She has since had another miscarriage and plans to do the same. This fetus was more developed with human features. Is this a current acceptable method of disposing of the fetus? ( She has four children)
My apologies to those suffering the loss of their child for this technical question.
I think most do the traditional burial or cremating. But every women handles loss differently. She might just want to stay close to her babies.
There is just no way I can say what is normal or not, everyone, every culture, every situation is different.
It might be weird, but most people cant understand what a mommy who has lost a baby is thinking. Honestly, she might be saving them so one day she can get them tested-maybe she hasn't found a doctor yet who cares. And maybe its a control issue- she couldn't control losing the babies, but she can control where they are now. Maybe she is saving them for burial- like taking them home to her mother's house on Christmas vacation. I'm just saying there could be any number of reasons, and I don't think anyone who hasn't lost a baby (and even some who have) could understand her reasons even if she explained them.
