Mother cuddles body of five-year-old daughter for hours before donating her brain for research

Clare Gregory cuddled little Olivia for hours after she had passed away because the girl was too ill and didn't like being touched in the months leading up to her death
UPDATED SEP 19, 2018

A heartbroken mother cuddled the body of her five-year-old daughter who passed away after being diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. Clare Gregory cuddled and stroked little Olivia's hair as she lay in her arms in a pair of pajamas only a few hours after she had passed away at home. 

Olivia lived with the aggressive brain tumor for a year after she was diagnosed. The cancer was located in her brain stem which made it inoperable and very difficult to counter via chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Olivia had a 0 percent chance of survival and tragically passed away just weeks before her sixth birthday. As reported by Mirror, Clare shared, "My heart was shattered. Olivia was dead but I loved being able to cuddle her again".
