Comments: We have just recently lost our boy (Jacques Arthur Byron Lavell)after being blessed with his little heart 10 weeks ago.He had stopped breathing for more than an hour and the doctors said it was a miracle that they brought him back to us after this longer period of time.He lived on for almost 3 days after they revived him.He put up a good fight to stay. The doctors said he was only the second child in forty years in Australia that was able to be bought back after this amount of time whether this is true or not I do not know.They run tests to try and find some reason or cause but as yet they still can not find a reason because I beleive that most of the test were the same as in all cases with slight variations.I surpose we will never know what causes this condition but I live in the hope of maybe Jacques death and rebirth will bring the research a little bit closer to stopping this condition so other families will not have to be subjected to the lose of loved ones so young who have not yet had a chance to fulfill thier lives. The second worst thing I have endured through this whole ordeal besides the death of our son is the grillings by the Queensland Police Force.For some strange reason I presumed that in this day & age people were presumed inocent until proven guilty but it is a total reversal; apparently in Austrtalia with any infant death,even when there is no suspicious circumstances,you get some arrogant holier than now police officer,such as the one we encountered (Cheryl Scannon)come into your house and grill you on every aspect of a terrible enough ordeal.Every time they look at you you can see that all they want to do is find blame. We regrett the lose of our son and I beleive that we will never forget him especially over the easter period for he passed away on good friday. I do not know and I think the doctors will never know what causes families to lose infants. We looked for reasons from the doctors but they have not been able to tell us anything so I have turned my attenion to the internet to hopfully find some4 type of research that will help me understand this condition more clearly. |

Comments: hello, my daughter just passed away from sids april 13, 2000. She was only 2 months and 26 days old. i would like everyone to know that it doesn't matter if your baby is healthy, they can be taken from you anyway. so when some one says i hope it's a boy or girl and the other person says just hope it's healthy, you can say it doesn't matter, if God wants the baby back, He'll take it no matter what. sincerely, shayne |

Comments: I just had my first miscarriage (10 weeks) on Monday April 24,2000 the doctor called it a missed miscarriage. My baby had a heart beat three weeks ago & Monday there was no heart beat that was the hardest thing not to hear. We have no way of knowing when the heart stopped & I feel so hopeless & so vey empty inside. Tuesday I had to have a D&C done & that took all I had to get out of bed to go I felt that by doing this it made it more real. I didn't want that feeling. I feel like I have failed & don't know how to deal with the lose of my child I want to know if my baby was a boy or girl what he/she would have looked like and mainly the look on my three year olds face when she sees her brother or sister so many questions & no answers its hard. I pray that God gives me a sign as to what my baby was. My husband is going to plant a tree in our babies memory I feel as if my heart is broken yes I have a wonderful daughter here with me but the lose of a child no matter how small the child the pain is so great. This is something I will never forget. |

Comments: SIDS babies, we believe, are not mortal children at all. They are "Gods's Littlest Angels", that are sent to us to aid in something that we are unable to correct or cope with as humans. Once they have "helped" or "protected" us, they then return home....."HEAVEN". We truly believe this and it was the only way that we got through our precious loss; Timothy Christian Streit, May 5, 1994 - September 21,1994. Bless them all, and all of us who continue to hurt without them. |

I felt like I could relate so much with the mother, and when the father carried the casket to the graveside in tears, I almost lost it myself!! I feel that God wont give us more then we can handle and that everything happens for a reason, maybe we go thru the hurt to be able to help others. I just hope that I was more help then hurt to her today!!! Thank You for letting me share!! Connie Callen |

Some of you may know that we lost her baby Zachary Wayne Burlette at 4 1/2 months in June of 1999. I think these babies are a gift from God, but I cannot forget about Zachary and I don't want to. I loved him so much. The new babies are Jacob and Molly. They have sleep apnea. They both take meds and are on monitors. It is wonderful and scary. Please pray for us to keep these babies alive and well. A note to our baby Zachary- We love and miss you and you will be forever in our hearts and thoughts. Love Nanny. |

Comments: My only child, my son, Weldon Pierce, died of SIDS on March 7, 2000. He was two days shy of 3 months old. We are still in the "totally devastated, ground down to powder and microwaved on 'hi' " stage. As I have read so many of you say, this is not right. I'm not okay with this. I want my son back. No one in this life ever looked at me the way he did and I'm afraid no one else ever will. One thing I would like to see is some support for the fathers of SIDS babies. I know, first hand, the hell that mothers go through, and from what I've been able to discover that is the emphasis of the material on the net. But the Daddies are expected to be the strong ones, make the arrangements, hold the family together while trying to hold themselves together. Daddies get tossed the hard decisions about "the bottom line" while still crippled by greif and loss. Does anyone have any information about Daddy Support? Blessed Be to you all, and to the spirits of your babies. We will all be One with them again. Craig Pierce |

Comments: It has been over 20 months now since our son Alex died of SIDS at only 4 1/2 months old. There have been many peeks and valleys in our lives since then. There have been more difficult times than truly happy moments. We still have a hard time being overly happy when there is an empty chair at the dinner table and a sinking feeling in your gut. I thank God that we were already expecting our third child at the time Alex died or we most likely would have not been able to go thru the birth process again along with the hopes and dreams a pregnancy brings. Our little girl Jordyn just passed her 1 year birthday. One traumatic, nerve-racking year waiting for "the other shoe to drop". I'm pleased to say our little girl is happy, healthy, a true comfort to our weary souls and a joy to our hearts. Our 4 year old son Nicholas has come a long way toward being "normal" as we all work through the grief process and heal slowly as a family. Time is a good healer for all those still fresh with the tragedy and shock this truly is. I wanted to spend my time helping others to survive this terrible killer, but I realize that I must help myself before I can help others. Expressing myself here with you all is very therapeutic. Work together and keep the lines of communication open between all of your loved ones. This will surely see you through all the trials life has to offer. Remember that we are as one spirit and we can feel his presence now comforting us. We will be joined with our “Alex” in eternity where the celebration of our family united will be far greater than any pleasure the earth has to offer. May God bless you all and remember don’t keep it all inside for it is a burden far too great to carry alone. |
