Adding deceased relatives to photos

How I would love to have photographs of my two babies who died at birth , I can understand why mothers of babies born sleeping want to share a photograph of their much loved child

Adding deceased to a photograph ? no way

I am sure that having photos of a stillborn child is healthy and helpful. Adding them to another photo seems weird though to me.

There is a charity who do this.

The charity, Remember My Baby (RMB).
An interesting article below.

I don't really see it as macabre. I have heard that some midwives etc dealing with neonatal deaths take photos of the babies and keep them.

They have found that a number of parents years later, whatever they thought at the time, desperately wish they had one.

There was a time when still born babies were whipped away by staff so as not to upset the parents and parents never knew what their child looked like.
I know a gran who got one from the hospital. Adding photos to pictures is another matter.

If they do it (speaking of the babies) they must find it helps them. I am just fortunate that I've never been in that situation. I wouldn't want to add deceased relatives to current photos. That doesn't make sense to me.

I find all of the above creepy.
Someone I know sadly lost three individual premature babies at only days or weeks old due to her medical condition. Her lounge wall was adorned with pictures of each poor little mite all wired up in their incubators.

There is a new trend now too for taking family photographs that include babies "born sleeping" (stillborn). Several have been posted on the mum's Facebook site that I'm on, and I struggle with that too. The photos are often professionally styled by photographers who specialise in photographing new born babies.

No, I would not add my long gone relatives to current pictures. I have a family group of pictures on a wall and by a picture of my GS and GD I just happened to put a picture of my grandfather and his sister, taken at the same age. The differences, grandfather and sister posed stiffly at the photographers in their Sunday best and the informal pic of my grandchildren about to burst into laughter are striking. All the years in between the two picture makes them extra special, to me, in some way.

On first thought I am not keen.

To avoid confusion pics are of them when they're alive.
