I don't see a photo here Sandra, but I think that anything that brings you comfort is not strange.  I have many photos of my son taken during the time he was sick with cancer.  We didn't allow any to be taken after his death, but I know of other families who have done this.  We have many photos taken of when he was sick, and some are days before his death.  I don't show them to many people, but to me they are precious as it was time we spent together, as painful as it was.  I am sorry for the loss of your daughter.

The Children's Hospital sent a photographer to us... we had several photos of us as our Last Family photo.... and our own special goodbye photos.... I have not looked at them since the funeral.... but I am glad that I have them...maybe it finalizes the reality.... I really don't know.... The hospital also made a plaster cast of his hand and a footprint

the organ donation program sent us with hand knit shawls and a tie blanket that stayed with him throughout the organ retrieval..... I cherish them yet have a difficult time looking at them..... but everything has it's place in the memory of his life.

Hugs and kisses...

Very sorry for your loss. The plaster cast would have been something good to have. Kasey was also an organ donor but we do not receive a shawl or blanket.

I see it now, Sandra, it is so sad, but very very sweet. My heart goes out to you.

I think it is comforting to have it.  I have pictures of my son in the hospital too.  He didn't die.  He made it through the awful surgeries and complications.  Then when I felt relief that he lived, he went home and died.  It is a beautiful picture.  What a difficult moment for you.  But you got to say goodbye.  And you got to kiss her.  It didn't upset me.  I think it is beautiful.

Thank you Mandy. Sometimes I feel like such an alien in this world. Yesterday the picture made me "happy" today it makes me sad. I am glad I have it though. Sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter.

Dear All, Sandy was my sister.  I was the only one who knew about her page here.

 

What small peace she was able to find after kasey's death she found from you.  Thank you for your kinds words and sharing your sincere hearts. 

 

With more pain that I can describe, but which I know you understand, I have to let you know that Sandy took her life last night.  I'm not even in town and am tired and confused, but I knew I had to reach out and tell each of you that you made a difference to her.  Keep hanging on and helping each other.  Linda V.
