An article published originally by SWNS wrote about a grieving mother, Kim Stephens, whose stillborn child, Olivia-Rose, was laid to rest with the cast of her mother's hand. The departed child was her fourth child with partner Si Down.

According to NY Post, the heartbroken mother released a photo of her stillborn baby with the plaster casts of her hands in the coffin. The model of Stephens' hands can be seen embracing the daughter while she was put into the coffin.

The 36-year-old mother believed that she wanted to make sure that she could always hug her daughter and they could always cuddle together.

“Our lives were shattered when our beautiful baby girl was born sleeping, we are so heartbroken. I had casts made of my own hands so I could cuddle her, I wanted to feel like she had me cuddling her forever and I thought that I couldn’t do it any other way," Stephens told NY Post.
