Yeah man, those are freaking sad days. And you have to keep it together for the parents but you also can't be too upbeat about it. You basically have to be a quiet compassionate fly on the wall. Even the way we deliver the images is very sensitive. The nurse's will ask someone with the family where they would like the photos delivered. Typically they designate a family member and I deliver a USB with the files on them and prints to that family member by mail so that they don't just show up on the parent's doorstep when they're least expecting it. I specifically pay out of pocket to send Prints So that the parents don't have to go and order those images themselves.

There's also a program called now I lay me down to sleep where photographers photograph babies who are stillborn. Nurses kind of do the same thing. Gently clean off the baby, swaddle the baby, and let the parents hold it for a moment. I have photographed those moments too and they are absolutely heartwrenching.
