Gosh thats really terrible and torturous for them to do that.. I saw the episode, but I assumed the show had no knowledge of Kates loss.. even if she did tell them about it and that she felt she had dealt with it, i still dont think they should have had the task, as it could have had a bad effect on Kate anyway, even if she had "dealt" with her loss.
Regardless of whether Kate disclosed losing her baby when she applied or not is not the real issue. The real issue is that they aired the show to get ratings. They knew how upset she was but they don't care about people's feelings.
Having a stillborn has a massive effect on your life. It is something that you have to live with every single day, a constant pain in your heart and a sickness in your stomach. To say that it isn't a live baby you get to love...............I'm sorry but it is a live baby for 9 months and I don't know about anyone else but I loved my baby the minute it was conceived. You see your baby on u/s and you feel your baby.
Unless you have experienced the heartbreak of a stillborn, you can't imagine the pain. Unfortunately the general public is not aware that stillbirth still happens today. We need to work very hard to change that perception, but it's a hard fight as the word "stillbirth" is almost a conversation stopper. Stillbirth is a worldwide problem and only a global effort will finally ensure change. We all need to talk about our angels and stillbirths as often as we can... this desensitises people to the word.
Please don’t tell them you never got to know me
It is I whose kicks you will always remember,
I who gave you heartburn that a dragon would envy,
I who couldn’t seem to tell time and got your days and nights mixed up,
It is I who acknowledged your craving for ice cream by knocking the cold bowl off your belly,
I who went shopping and helped you pick out the perfect teddy bear for me,
I who liked to be cradled in your belly and rocked off to dreamy slumber by the fire,
It is I who never had a doubt about your love,
It is I who was able to put a lifetime of joy into an instant
