Why do you think people do this?

So a year and a half ago, my nephew passed away when he was six weeks old due to SIDS. If you're not familiar, you should look it up, but it stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Anyways the father left before my nephew was even born and came back into my sister's life after he passed away. It's pretty complicated, but the father left once again and is telling his new girlfriend that my sister killed her baby. This is not the first person to say this either. I have no idea why anyone would have the desire to think this let alone spread around and gossip to people! It's the worst thing you could accuse someone of and they go around saying it like they know everything. I was there the night my nephew passed away and I can assure you that he was safe when we put him to bed and all throughout the night. People are saying we were both beyond drunk and that's why he died?? We each had one beer and one shot within 4 or 5 hours, obviously not even close to being tipsy. I guess my question is why do you think people think they have a right to say something so horrid to a grieving mother?

    People are awful. I lost my baby girl my boyfriend was with me 100% we both fell in love with her. But when word got out his ex called and said how she was glad I lost the baby because and she couldn't understand why he was so upset over it. Then his friends girlfriend try to get my boyfriend to believe I killed her...needless to say we don't talk to them anymore. I don't know why people are such ass holes but they are. Chin up! :) I know it's hard on both ends but it's going to be ok.

      That's horrible, I don't understand why anyone would want to add to the pain. It happens though and I'm glad you could remove those people from your life. Sadly it's been part of my family and some other close people in our lives that decided to accuse my sister. We don't talk to them, but can't really completely remove them from our lives. Anyways, thank you so much for sharing! This helped a lot. :)

    Wow that's terrible...I'm really sorry for your loss. Nobody has the right to be that cruel to a grieving family, but we live in a cruel world.

      We weren't drinking at the hospital, we were the previous night at my sister's house. Then went to the hospital at 7 when we woke up the next morning.

  • I'm thinking they thought that because they are uneducated about health and are thinking that it would be very uncommon for a baby to die for no reason. SIDs is commonly caused by infintile sleep apnea. I have noticed most people are very uneducated about medicine. My exgirlfriend was legally blind and had albinism and I couldnt believe how many times people asked things like "why dont you wear glasses?" and "so your from albania?" I was even at her doc apointment one time where the doctor didnt know what an albino was.

      Wow that's crazy. I agree with you that people are just uneducated, but you would think you'd reasearch it before blurting something like that out.
