    Stillborn Image Gallery & Memorial Site

    This is eerie.  I know people mourn in different ways, but still.

    Re: Stillborn Image Gallery & Memorial Site

    I had a lengthy discussion with my friend before on the extreme creepiness of it.

    I can see a picture taken like the one with the parents, but when the kid gets dressed up to look like a doll, that's a little too much.

    My southern relatives have a belief that when you take a picture of a corpse, the picture witholds it's "spirit"  :-o

    One couple I babysat for had pictures like these.  I was browsing through their photoalbum, and they had a number of pictures like these.  It scared me something bad when I saw them.  Just the same I feel like I need to look because obviously the parents want to preserve that the baby was here at one time, so as we don't forget.

    I think this is the saddest picture I've ever seen.  I will never understand why people do this.

    Re: Stillborn Image Gallery & Memorial Site

    I can't remember her name but there's a famous photographer who does photo shoots for stillborn babies....basically it's something the parents need, to remember the kid.  I think it's weird to make it a public site, as it's private grief.

    The one with the baby wearing lipstick is totally bizarre though.

    However, my mom collects family albums from the 19th century and we're always finding ones where entire familes are photographed dead, sitting in chairs and stuff, after falling ill.  And it was very common to take pictures of dead children.

    Hey if it helps the family I am all for it.
    I have been lucky and had not had to deal with anything like this. But I am sure I would more then likely have taken pictures if this had happened to me.
    But I would keep it private not post it on the web for all to see.

    Some of those pictures are just weird. Like the one I posted. Why would you want to remember your child like that? But to each his own.

    Re: Stillborn Image Gallery & Memorial Site

    I read the story of Camille as told by her father. I was touched by thier courage to take the photographs in the first place, and respected thier wishes to remember thier child. I am sure I would have done the same. And the fact that they gave her organs away was very inspiring.

    That would have been...MY baby. MY thing that kicked and screamed, but instead was still...I would need something to look at to help me move forward. I think.

    I cried when I read it. ;_;

    Also, maybe thier baby was born dead because neither of Camille's parents were at a great age for bearing children. Her father was 60 and her mother was 39.

    :-o Whoa. I guess it helps with the grieving process and serves as a remembrance, but very eerie nonetheless.

    I found this artwork creepy.


    And affirmative action is a very nice term for racial discrimination against better-qualified white people in jobs, employment, promotions and scholarships, and college admittance.

    [/quote]You mean the photo in the OP? There are several places online that will photoshop a stillborn baby's photos so they're more um... socially acceptable? I personally find most of them almost clownish/cartoonish when they're retouched but if it makes the family feel better to have their child look a bit less deformed/discolored, good for them.
    I would also keep pictures private and only show them to close friends. No matter how your baby looks, it will hold some beauty for you but pictures where the poor little thing has been dead and decompsing before delivery for several weeks seriously ick me out. &nbsp;:2eyesbleed:

    Warning, I'm about to say something offensive.






    This one looks like they laid the baby on a copier and hit Start.

    Yeah at first glance that threw me off. Doesn't help that the drawing sort of resembles an alien. &nbsp; :|

    Some of the stuff on that is EXTREMELY disturbing.

    Ugh. I think if I did take a picture (and I wouldn't), it'd be a very private thing.

    I seriously realized yesterday that I am way too overly sensitive. I always kind of use the rule, if someone said that about my dead child, how would I feel? If I wouldn't like it, I wouldn't say it. But...what do I know?
