- A TikTok user has attracted significant attention for sharing the heartbreaking final moments of her daughter’s life, captured on camera by her mother just before the tragic inc:ident.
Samantha Jensen revealed that her daughter, Scarlett, who ‘loved horses, unicorns, and being a big sister,’ is now remembered in a bittersweet way due to a photo taken just before her passing.
Until weeks later, the poignant image was not discovered and Jensen now feels an immense sense of gratitude for it.
In her TikTok post, she shared: “My mom took this picture at 4:47 pm and my daughter’s time of death was 4:52. My mom didn’t know she was capturing the last moments of her life. This one is really hard for me to look at, just knowing what comes next breaks my heart
People have been left feeling emotional after hearing Jensen’s story, with one writing: “Sweet little soul. May she forever rest in peace. May her peace now be that of her family’s. Tragic.”
“I’m so saddened to hear about your family’s loss. She was so beautiful. they didn’t deserve this. RIP princess Scarlett,” agrees a second.
In the weeks following the acci:dent, Jensen learned about the photo her mother had taken.
“My mom lost her phone when they were hit, and it took us a while to find it. When we finally did, I was going through pictures and found that one,” she wrote.
“I looked at the timestamp and realized it was only five minutes before her declared time of d3ath, so it must have been taken seconds before the person hit them.”
Jensen has chosen to share her story on social media to help others understand that ‘it is okay to grieve loudly.’
She encourages people to remember their loved ones, saying: “You don’t have to do it in silence. Talk about your people, scream their names loud and proud and never stop sharing their stories
