No one said Missy should focus on her loss constantly, we did however, say she rarely talks about it. Her channel was started up in order to break the silence on loss, and "fill a need in their community".
I understand she's attached to Oliver,but her channel shouldn't be all about him. It's a slap to the face and an unrealistic fantasy. Not every woman is going to go through infant/miscarriage and have this happy ending,in which we never mention our struggle again.
It seems it's all,and only, about the money now and not it's prior intent. Don't claim to be someone who is all about loss,and helping the community,when you aren't doing as such. She has become a typical youtuber with her vlogging and pregnancy channel. Every mom does pregnancy vlogs and baby updates. She had something different,something good for the community and she lost it.
They talk a lot about the loss in my opinion. Like others have said, each person grieves differently. They are young, and it doesn't seem like they went through any therapy after the loss. A lot of their first videos are dedicated to talking solely about the stillbirth. The video interview with her mother talks a lot about that also. It's strange to me how people are bringing this up only after Oliver was born. This is and should be a happy time for them. They deserve it like any parent. The video with Oliver's song shows scenes of the baby she lost. His hand on a heart pillow. That to me shows that she did not forget where she came from. In the beginning of that video, there is also a clip of her praying to G=d to let her keep the baby till the end. I see a lot of honesty in that clip. It shows a person who has suffered a lot. Boy, I can't even imagine the pain of losing a baby that far along.
Anyway, I'm happy for them and that they get to enjoy a perfectly healthy baby in the end.
