Big sister, six, meets her newborn baby sibling 5 days before she died due to health issues

Bursting with a big sister's pride, Darcy could hardly contain her excitement as she welcomed baby Beatrice into the world.

But the sisters shared just five days together before six-year-old Darcy tragically died from a rare health condition she had suffered with since birth.

After her death in hospital, parents Kristian D'Rosario and Emily Nixon then spent five more 'very special days' together as a family of four with her body in a hospice.

The couple were able to sit with Darcy's body in a temperature-controlled room, taking photographs and creating 'artwork' from moulds of her hands and feet.
