To think some things should be kept private (warning upsetting)

I was scrolling down newsfeed on fb and a "friend" had shared a post it was a picture of a one day old baby that had passed away, with the headline please share to say Thankyou to the staff of such and such hospital, this was posted by the baby's dad. Obviously this is awful and the parents are going through hell, but I think this is so inappropriate. I think photos like this should be private not shared by randoms all over Facebook it's upsetting (yes I know it's upsetting having it happen) but why not use a photo of her alive I am actually in shock it's seriously got to me and can't imagine how someone this has happened to would feel seeing these pictures. So Aibu to think these photos should be kept private?

A timely link to our talk guidelines for those who may need them and a reminder that if there's one thing we can ALL do with, it's some moral support
Thanks ever so

Evening all. We don't want to have to remove this thread, in which several posters have shared their thoughts as well as precious memories of their children who have died, but we are aware it is upsetting people, understandably. Could we ask everyone to post thoughtfully and sensitively on this subject, bearing in mind that there are lots of parents active on this thread who have sadly lost their own children? We realise no one here wishes to deliberately upset anyone, of course, but what is simply a flippant comment to one person, may be a knife straight through the heart of another, and we're all here ultimately to offer support to one another.
Thank you.

Like we just said, "post thoughtfully and sensitively" please.
