The weirdest part of having a dead baby is reassuring my four-year-old that, when she has a new born baby someday, it will probably not be dead.

@mpjgregoire
And I'm sorry that you've also experienced something like this. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It is truly awful. Tomorrow is going to be the worst day of my life (I hope, at least).

@mpjgregoire
Thank you. Just knowing the people I'll probably never meet know his name helps a lot.

@FssOfDeath
Thanks.

@thurloat
Thank you. I appreciate it. It helps a lot that so many people I've never met will know his name. That's something, at least.
@JessSloan

@cathal
Thank you. It honestly helps a lot just knowing that strangers will know his name.

@suetanvil
Thank you. It's hard, but even messages like this help a little. We've got friends and family around us, too, but these messages help. My son is gone before I got to meet him. Even if we have a other child, it won't be him. And...damn, I'm laying a lot on you right now. Sorry.

@django
Also minus those your instance has never seen, due to not federating with certain other instances (by choice or by accident). But otherwise, yes, that's my understanding.

@Greg
Thank you.

@morganth
Thanks. We've got friends and family around us. We'll be OK, eventually. But knowing his name will be known and remembered by strangers makes me feel like he made a mark on the world. He was healthy and viable, not "just" a miscarriage, so knowing he will be remembered as a person with a name is really helpful.

@erinbee
Thanks. We've got family and friends around us, but it helps to know people I've never met care, too. Somehow, it makes me feel like he made his mark on the world.

@morganth
Thank you. It honestly helps to know his name will be remembered by someone I've never met.

I feel like I need to say this here, because I've mentioned that my wife is pregnant. Our baby died. They doctor thinks the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. He was healthy and probably would have been born as such, but then this freak accident happened and now he's dead and my wife has to birth a dead baby on Father's Day and everything sucks.

Not really looking for replies, but felt like I needed to put it out there.

His name, I think, will be Henry John.

@xvu
Friendica or something like that might work...sort of a federated Facebook analogue. You could also find a Pleroma instance and basically get an experience quite similar to Mastodon (you can even optionally use the Mastodon front end), but with a default character maximum of 5,000 (I think...it might be smaller, but it's definitely more than Mastodon by default).

Every year in June The Memory Palace re-posts this episode, A White Horse http://thememorypalace.us/2016/06/a-white-horse/

It is my favourite, which is saying something as The Memory Palace is an incomparably good podcast.

@mawr Yeah, I figured. Slice of lice wouldn't be very laid back. lol

@JordiGH I've seen more images of anime boys than anime girls, surprisingly enough, but I know what you mean.

Why do so many "chill beats" and lo-fi hip hop playlists use anime images as their icon/cover picture?

@mawr Fucking an apple pie to make the fediverse a better place. 😆
