Funeral

I was in a cemetery which had a large circle made of cement in the middle.  There was one woman there dressed in black with a black veil over her face.  She was mourning the death of her child.  I asked her what her child died from and she said it was a infanticideectomy .  I asked what that was and she said the doctors put her child to death to save her life.  Apparently the child was too much for her health to stand.  I thought why didn't she just give the child up and why would doctors do such a thing.  The cement oval we were standing on had a large wall that divided it into three or more parts.  I walked to the other side of the oval and there was a large group of mourners but they were dressed in bright colors and seemed happy.  They were mourning the same person as the woman on the other side except they were angry at her for letting it happen.  They wanted nothing to do with her.
