[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has worked in the field of oncology and a parent with pediatric cancer in my family, I would absolutely allow this. It’s going to be really important for your child and her friend and will be something she will never regret. This experience will profoundly impact your child and this will be something that helps her navigate it with peace for the rest of her life.[/quote]

Just amplifying this.  The kid who is dying will know that s/he is a small part of her friend forever, even after s/he dies.  And your kid will have this lasting reminder of this thing s/he did for their dying friend whom s/he loved.  It's lovely.  Good luck with the rib thing, OP's kid![/quote]

Tattoos are forever and this is someone op’s DD has been close friends with for a few years. For all we know if the other kid lived they’d graduate from high school and then never talk again. [/quote]

Have you lost a friend in childhood to cancer? If not, I wouldn’t comment on how you think the OP’s child will grieve.[/quote]
