We lost our second child after a placental abruption last week. She was born without a heartbeat, resuscitated, and spent three days in intensive care before the decision was made to withdraw care and let her die peacefully. Our toddlers is two years and two months, and seems to have forgotten that she was going to have a new sister - we have shown her a picture, but it doesn't seem to have registered. She does realise that mummy and daddy are very sad, and that I have recently come back from hospital. We are going to view our baby daughter's body once more before the funeral. Has anyone let a child of this age view the body of a sibling in order to say goodbye to them? I can't work out if this is a terrible idea or not.
