The heartbreaking series of photographs depicting parents holding deceased babies in their hands evokes the most ambiguous feelings. After all, there is nothing worse and sadder in the world than the premature loss of a child.
The loss of a child, the most tragic event in the life of a parent. In the world there is not a single correct way to grieve about such a loss, so some families have chosen a rather unusual and peculiar way to perpetuate their memory - by taking family photos with their stillborn or prematurely departed babies. Project "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is a non-profit" created specifically to help families cope with their losses by presenting a series of photographs as a keepsake. The organization claims that over the past 10 years of their work, 1,650 volunteers have taken part in this project.
Losing, like having a child, is the most exciting moment for every parent. That's why, pictures of the first seconds of the life of babies can cause a double impression … After all, they are so different from the cute pictures of babies we are used to. But that was the goal of the photographer, to capture newborns as they are, without blankets and multi-colored bows and ribbons.
