i dont understand....

Ok or maybe I do just a little. I am in a grieving mothers group on cafemom, it is a quiet group for the most part. People generally only post when they are having a bad day,new to the group or their childs angelverssary is coming up. There is hardly 20 active members. Well the other day someone asked to see pictures of peoples children who have passed away. There was an array of pictures posted a couple of toddlers, a few still borns and mostly preemies that where born in the 20 week area. Now I get why parents have those pictures they are your babies they are beautiful to you no matter what but I find it a little morbid & stomach turning to be posting them on the internet. I don't enjoy looking at children in coffins or 20 week old babies, it breaks my heart! We opted out of having any pictuures of kaden because we don't need physical reminders of him in the coffin, mental pictures are good enough! We do have pictures of his coffin in the book that was made but only because everyone signed it!! Idk on one hand I get that if your child was born early those are the only pictures you have and that is important to you but on the other I don't think those are things that need to be shared with the world.

I feel the same way. I don't think that I would want to have a picture like that or even share it online with strangers.
