She replaced her baby to cope with this grief
Faced with this moment in her life which turns out to be more difficult than one might think, the mother uses “the means at hand” to survive. In fact, she uses a weighted teddy bear, which weighs the same than her baby. Cora Bryant carries the plush toy in a baby carrier, to reassure herself when she cannot cope with Weylyn’s physical absence.
This is a unique way to honor my son and fill a void in my heart. Grief is weird and we do weird things when we’re grieving.
In fact, when she feels that she is not going to be able to stop her tearsthe young woman turns to the teddy bear.
It regulates my nervous system so much that I no longer cry.
