Did you check at least the health section of her Wikipedia page?
It did not help and she clearly hasn’t found peace.

I think I understand where you are coming from. The undignified disposal of corpses is the least of the commited atrocities in in this facility. The infant mortality rate was 5 times the average of the time, the children were malnourished and abused. Take a look at the other sources.
In this context mentioning SIDS comes across as an apology. If a non-denominational facility would murder and abuse children at this rate they'll also hide the corpses. The core issue isn't dignified burial but abuse and murder.
No, No, and No.
I mildly criticise her for switching from one flawed main stream to another flawed main stream. You incorrecty mixed Sunni with various sects of islam. 85% of Muslims are Sunni, 48.1% of Christians are Catholic.
My real issue is that both denominations are wildly incompatible with her choice of lifestyle so these choices are weird to me. They certainly did not help her mental health.
Ever since Trumps 1st term satire and sarcams have been slowly dying. Since then it's gotten so bad that now matter how outlandish your post/comment is - there is a maga cult member who'll top whatever you wrote and is completely serious about it.
Yeah, I'm going to use /s every time.
Here is some more links on the disturbing stuff:
Sorry, I should have put the sources list at the bottom of my reply.
First off you can't compare US mortality rates to Irish ones, especially if you can't apply it to the numbers.
From the Wikipedia article on Tuam: Writing in a 2012 HSE report, Declan McKeown, a consultant public health physician and medical epidemiologist stated that the infant mortality rate in the home were "similar to those recorded at Bessborough" (another mother and baby home), which were five times the rate for Ireland in 1950 and 65 times the 2012 rate. McKeown stated that these rates were equivalent to the infant mortality rate in Ireland in the 1700s.
That seems disturbingly high, don't you think?
EDIT: Disturbingly high and a common occurence in these facilities in Ireland.
Also check out at least that 1st Arte video. It is not long and features a couple of survivors.
After consuming the sources below I have to say that the disposal of the bodies is IMHO the least atrocious thing that was committed.
Sources:
Sorry, in the context of the many apologists in this thread still trying to smear the historian and to gloss over the atrocities and you bringing up SIDS I missed you intention.
I still disagree with youur comment though. I think that is it less likely for an atheist organisation to commit the same atrocities and there being no known incidents of similar coverups. Still, any organization starving and mistreating children will try hide their crimes and their victims bodies regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof.
In short: I agree with your intent but I disagree with how you worded it.
The article is crap. The DNA is used to ID siblings, relatives. That's however not the only thing they got wrong
See here for example: The true horror of Irish mother and baby homes | ARTE.tv Documentary
Is it possible to pin replies? For some reason this was almost at the bottom for me.
Also I can add some more sources, that Fox article is really bad:
There is plenty of evidence for the abuse and unaliving of children before the bodies were hidden.
Sources:
*pro-birther. If they were really pro life there'd be less school shootings, etc. pp.
