My father had a brother die of it and it is just so hard to understand. My heart goes out to all families who have suffered this. My son had severe apnea and I thank God every day he survived this. I understand now that SIDS and Apnea are two very different things, but 15 years ago I didn't and it was a very tough year. They wouldn't let me have a monitor. I was told he would just grow out of it. Thank God he did.

GOD has blessed us with four wonderful children and it saddens my heart to know that they have to grow up in this world with all the evil that becomes more apperent each and every day.I'm a Paramedic and have seen too many children that haven't made it but it is GOD's ultimate decision and I respect his wishes. thanks for putting this page on the net so that people might be able to vent. Remorse is part of the healing process but venting seems to help thanks again. Ricky Mitchem.

Comments: A very dear friend and his wife lost their baby this week. The baby had only been at day care for three days. He was born June 10th. autopsy said SIDS. I have been looking for some sort of answers on-line and found my way here. The funeral is Saturday and I needed some help finding out how to cope when I see them. This loss seems to encompass so many emotions, yet every spoken word seems so very inadequate. Do you have any suggestions for supporting your friends when they have lost a child to SIDS. We have been friends practically forever. I have a daughter who is 10 months old. How do I handle that? Thanks for having the sight available. It's been a great comfort.

On November 1, 1988, He was as healthy as the day is long, and this day, while at his babysitters house, he went to sleep, and didn't wake up. The night he died, at the Hospital, I got to hold him, and I felt like a major part of my life was gone! Burying a child is the hardest thing a parent can do! I have a portion of my web site that is dedicated to Him, and the awareness of this horrible problem, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Comments: We lost our son, Derek David at 18 weeks of pregnancy in Jan. of '96. Labor was induced after discovering that he was gone. Autopsy report stated 2 causes: 1-True knot in cord and 2-Maternal Floor Infarction of the placenta. As if that wasn't enough pain to endure, we then lost our daughter, Samantha Jo @ 33.5 weeks of pregnancy, in Jan. of this year. Her autopsy report stated--Maternal Floor Infarction of the placenta. After all kinds of tests, we still don't know why my body choses to do this to our precious babies. We are planning to try again, having been given a 50% chance of having a sucessful pregnancy.We DESPERATELY need to know if there is anyone who has had this same problem and if it is possible to have the child that we so very much desire. Our local SHARE group is wonderful, but nobody there has had this type of loss--not to mention 2 loses just inside of a year. Anyone please e-mail us with words of wisdom, or support!! Thanks!

At 13 months, she is still on her monitor, but will be off of it at the end of September, if all continues to go well.

Someone said it was for the best (because he had infantile spasms, CP, feeding tube), and I hate that person now. Best for who. Best how. Maybe it was, but it was still stupid. My husband and I chose no heroic measures. That's hard too trying not to second guess. But he'd had so much pain and medical interventions. What a mess. So I want this private only to other parents who have had this happen please. And how could I find a grief support group in Minneapolis, or St. Paul, MN? Thanks. Angela

Comments: I lost my son, Connor, on April 23 1997. He was STILLBORN at 40 1/2 weeks. A specialist I talked with thinks my son died of "cord compression". I have found this sight to be very helpful to me, and have gained much strength from reading other's stories. I welcome any comments or suggestions regarding the death of my son. I miss him very much. Today is the 4 month anniversary of his death, and it has been a very long road. Connor was my 6th pregnancy, and a much wanted child. We only have one living child, a little girl who is 3 now. We are trying for another baby now, but the chances of getting pregnant don't look very promising. Life is so unfair sometimes. I hope when I get to Heaven one day, it will be filled with books that I can look through and read, and find out all the answers to all the questions I always wanted to know. I will get to hold my little baby and tell him how much him mommy misses him, and loves him. You can visit my son's dedication page at http://www.chesapeake.net/~amet/connor.htm Please email me, I would like to hear your stories on a more personal note.

The baby was sleeping on his father and the father woke up and noticed the baby was cold. He realized the baby wasn't breathing and called 911--the baby didn't make it. I had my son on 2/28--just weeks after this happened. My life and outlook was changed that day, Feb. 3rd when my friend's son died, and now she is not sure if she wants another baby. I would love for her to heal and have another baby someday. I just thought I would share this as it has changed how I view my life and my baby--I love him even more and am even more thankful for him.

I put the mental pain to the back of my head, cause I had a wedding to plan. Now, I can't do that anymore. I feel so empty inside, I want to get pregnant now, but my husband wants to wait till Nov. or Dec. For me that is too long to wait. I get more and more depressed everyday now, and now we are arguing constantly. He doesn't understand how much it means to me to have a baby now. My husband is the best husband, but we are having problems now because of my depression. I don't know what to do anymore, cause now I have no will to get out of bed. Also, to pour salt on the wound, my sister is pregnant and I have 2 friends pregnant, one of them is due any minute now, and it hurts to talk to them. How can I be happy for them, when all I want is what they have right now growing inside them?

Comments: I am in Houston and recently had a friend that lost a child to SIDS. It affected me profoundly, my heart aches for her. Not only did she loose her child but she was a single mother and at the time of the childs death was arrested until the autopsy was preformed. I was so angered and upset for her; I am glad that you are here to help those of us whose lives are touched by this.

Comments: Hello my name is Sheri Madaris and am a mother of five children. Two of my children have significant medical problems. I would like for you to go see a web site. This site is important to anyone that has a child within their family, especially a sick child. There are parents all over the world being held "hostage" due to their child's medical problems. I hope that you will consider making this a link or pass it on to others in order to warn parents. Please read " Profiles" very carefully. Thank you for your time.

Comments: Woodruff, SC My wife Kelli & I have three children all currently under four and are struggling with our youngest who will be five months old this month. Cameo has a problem where she stops breathing for what the doctors have no apparent explanation. We have been given the suggestion from The SIDS Alliance out of Baltimore, MD that she may have Apparent Life Threatening Episodes (ALTE). Where do we go to help her?

Comments: We lost Emily 12-28-96 to SIDS and she was AWAKE in her Daddy's arms when it happened. You can read about Emily's story in the new revised 1997 edition of "The SIDS Survival Guide" by Joani Hoerchler. Emily is going to be a big sister in Jan '98. I would love to hear from anyone who has lost a child in a similar manner. Emily would be one yr old 8-15-97. Mommy & Daddy forever love and miss you!!!!

Comments: New Zealand - My partner and I lost our precious little girl Samantha Jane at 18 weeks. We went for the scan and were told very sad news she had very severe Spina Bifida and Brain Damage. They said she was not going to make it full term and said the best thing to do was to be induced. On April the 3rd 1997 she was born she was a beautiful little girl, the girl i had always wanted We have a little boy 3 1/2 years old and I don't think i would of been able to cope if I didn't have him. They say the reason for her sickness was lack of folic acid. I am now on Folic acid supplements daily and trying for another baby. I would love to here from others who have been in this situation. Please email me. Good luck to everyone.

Comments: I live in Southern California with my wonderful husband & 4 year old son. Our precious baby girl/baby sis, Lauryn Alexa, died July 16, 1997 of SIDS. She was so happy & healthy. She was only 4 months 10 days old. We all really miss her a lot!!!!!! She just brightened up our days with her beautiful smile & face. Right now, we're just trying to understand & take one step at a time. Every single day, I wake up & say, "Thank you so very much Lauryn for bringing so much joy, laughter & love into our lives....We'll never forget you & we'll always love you!!!!!!!!" It has been truly tough, but we must pledge on so that some day we'll be together again in that Happy Land called Heaven. Thanks for letting me share! Take Care & May God Bless You!
