Now I Lay Me down to Sleep

[Lilypad]

Dear friends of mine recently lost their child to a genetic disorder. Last night I viewed a tribute on a CD taken by a photographer associated with nilmdts, what a loving gift to share with family and friends. While it may not be for everyone, it is something to think about.

Although I am sure some people find comfort in this, I would never do it. I almost lost my youngest at 10 days and through a long line of miracles, he was saved. I don't think I would want the constant reminder of what could have been. Plus I don't think I could hold my dead baby in my arms and look at peace enough to have it captured on film.

I am glad that your friend found peace through this. I can't, and never want to, imagine the pain it must be.

To each their own, but to me, that is kind of morbid :shrug:

This hits too close to home. We took pictures with Zachary and the hospital took pictures too. But nothing so "posed" as this. I don't think I could have done this.

My cousins child was stillborn about 2 months ago and they had this done.
