I know this is an old post but I think you have every right to be upset by this. I really don't like it when people think they know what is best for us when they have not been through it themselves! Sure I would love to 'move on' too and in some ways I have but my baby's life and death is with me every second of the day. Its not something you can switch off and from what I have heard from women having rainbow babies after a loss, a baby does not replace the first baby nor does it make one get over it. I too had a family friend say I should just go and have another (umm not that simple and it completely de-valued the life of my baby who was here and was real!). Perhaps your aunt was concerned but I think in situations like this family shouldnt be allowed to see what we post on FB! I don't think messages are appropriate in this context - it would have been better face to face or to talk to you to see how you were feeling rathr than judging what she sees on FB. I hope you are feeling better xx
