Comments: I lost my little Austin 3 days before Christmas, 1984, and it wasn't
until now, 14 years later, that I'm having to write this experience down for a writing
class at PSU. His untimely death still affects me after all these years. I guess it's true
that you don't ever get over it--just through it the best you can. I never imagined that a
mere 2 month old baby could make such an impact on me for the rest of my life, but he has.
I will always love and cherish you, Austin, and know that one day, we'll be together
again. Love Mom. |

Comments: This is the second time that i have visited this site and for some reason
it seems to make me feel better. I do wish that i could find a chat room to talk to some
one. I miss my son so much. I was recently going through all of our pictures and when i
came across our family picture i almost died when i saw the resemblance of my new son to
Michael. They could have been twins. I live my life min. to min. because i miss him so
much; there are days when i don't know how i got through. Please GOD tell me he is okay,
tell me that everything is alright and that some day he will be mine again. I feel like I
have lost everything at times, not that I don"t love my other children, but I look at
them and wonder why i still have them and not Michael. I wonder if it was some kind of
punishment or if it was my fault. I hate SIDS and wish that we could do something to
change it. |

Comments: We are the proud parents of Joseph "Joey" Fairbrother . He was
our youngest son and we lost him due to SIDS. He was only three months and one day old and
not a day goes by that he is not in our hearts and minds. We miss him dearly. It has been
2 years and not a day goes by that our hearts mourn the loss of our bright eyed son. And
for him, we find it necessary to know as much as possible about SIDS research and to try
to lend our support. Joey was born June 4th, 1996 and this year we received another gift
from God. Her name is Lorin, and she was born June 3rd 1998. We hope and pray that we may
not go through another tragedy like the one we survived just 2 years ago. And I hope and
pray that no one else must go through it as well. Thank you soo much for building this
site where we can go. If not for the information that you may provide, but for the support
in knowing that maybe another family will know that they are not alone. Thank you once
again, and God bless you all! Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Gary Fairbrother II |

would be my son's first birthday. and because of this horrendous thing call SIDS i will be
spending the day without him. for the last few weeks i have been wondering how i will deal
with this day. and i have felt pretty okay with it...till tonight when i walked thru the
doors of my house and suddenly something hit me. I am not even sure what it was but all of
a sudden my feelings of strength where blown out the door. I have 11 days to go till i get
the his birthday...and it seems as though the days building up to it are going to be
harder than the actual day. am i nuts or normal...or is there any such catagories going
thru this? I have thought from one range to the other about what i would do on his
birthday...such as either shut myself off from the world that day...no phone, no answering
the door, no nothing or just the opposite-get out there and deal with
"stuff"...people, situations, feelings. I know i will not know until that very
morning what i will do. has anyone else had this "build up" to dates...and what
do you do... I have actually had this weird thing happening...my hair has ben coming out a
lot, not in clumps or anything big but very noticable and someone said you must be
stressing about something...maybe this is it. it fels weird. anywords of support or advice
are very much welcome. i thought i was doing "good" and gonna be able to get
thru this. and while i have friends and family who try to help those of you who have gone
thru this can help way more. thanks for listening tracey...momy of baby jack |

the annual golf tournament held in Houston and very sympathetic to families who had
suffered losses like theirs. Visting your site today made me feel a little closer to her -

Comments: We lost our first born son Micael Patrick Dupuis on 3-11-97. I knew about
SIDS but never thought that it could happen to me. I took all of the CPR classes and had a
set of twins before he was born, so i thought i knew what to expect. The moment that I
heard my husband scream no I knew that my life had changed forever. I would give anything
that I possibly could to change my sons fate but I guess we all know that we can't do
that. I have just recently started going to a support group. I think that it is the most
wondeful thing in the world for me. I just wish that it was more than once a month. I miss
my son more every day that passes without him. We just had another beautiful baby boy who
turned 2 months on what would have been my sons 2 year b-day. That was a very hard day for
me I have so much anger and feeling of emptiness, I wish I knew how to make it stop. My
new son looks so much like Michael; some days it is very comforting and others it is heart
wrenching. For all of the other parents out there I wish that we could all see our
children playing together because they are. We love and miss each and every one of you,
our small angels with big hearts. Michael, you are forever mine. LoL |

contacts. I was re-reading past months and came across an entry from my son's day care
provider. It is in Feb. 98. her name is carol and she is without a doubt an incredible
person. take a moment to read it. especially if you are a provider. she not only cared for
my precious Baby Jack but felt for him like he was her own. I am so lucky to have her and
her family in my life then and still now. although i do not see them quite as much as i
did before not a day goes by i don't think about them. i feel an extreme pain in my heart,
soul, body and mind since my son was taken away from me by this monsterous desease or
whatever it is called. but i also know how intensly the lives of my daycare family have
been touched. I have a lot of my own pain to deal with and have day to day struggles with
that. But i want people to know how wonderful carol and her family have been. and how they
are in my prayers and I know my special little angel in heaven watches over all of us.
there is a beautiful picture of Baby Jack up in the daycare. Carol made it special with a
couple of Jack's baby toys inbedded in the matte. so wonderful she made us both one.

hard to believe we lost our little boy who had a tough way to go from the start. He was
born 6 weeks premature weighed in at 3lbs. 13 oz. He was strong and fought a upper
respiratory infection up until a couple of days before his death. If I could just have
another ten minutes to hold him and talk to him I THINK it would make it easier. Until we
meet again I LOVE and MISS you. We have another child 2 years old and full of herself. For
those of you that lost a child to SIDS and used an apnea monitor on a subsequent child you
know what I'm saying when I tell you that the first time the alarm goes of you almost
crumble. You think not again. But, she's GREAT. God bless all of you and I can't say it
gets easier but maybe more accepting. |

Comments: In 1984 my grandson, Greggy, died of SIDS. At that time even though I'd
been a nurse for 20 years, and had worked on all areas of nursing- including Pediatrics, I
was devestated. I knew that the babies of good people died, I knew that death was a part
of life, I had served dying patients and their families for years. But Greggy's death
brought me to my knees. Kept me praying to God not to make my daughter, Teri, and her
husband, Gordon, go crazy, not to let anything happen to my granddaughter, Jessie. I
thought I had learned enough through all those years of studying...but on that day, I
realized I knew nothing. Then when we were the most desperate, an angel came to help us
through. To answer all the questions we had to ask about why it had happened. It helped us
so much that Teri and I wanted to share what she'd said, share how our family healed, and
offer it to others. That's why we wrote the book "Then An Angel Came.." It took
us ten years to get it published but that too was a gift, because each day in those ten
years we got a chance to talk about Greggy, to share him with each other. To heal. And we
found out...A life is no small thing, no matter how small the life. The Angel Janith's 11
steps to healing can be downloaded for free from our site. Love and Prayers to all of you
who have lost your precious children. |

Comments: My first attempt to look something up on the Net!! The address was in the
Michigan SIDS Alliance newsletter. We lost out firstborn son, Bradley, to SIDS in l976. It
still surprises me that reading a page like this brings it all back so clearly. We have 3
subsequest children, all boys, who are so great, but Bradley was here first. Our first
subsequent son, Greg, is 20 yrs. old now and so often I wonder if he and Brad would have
been close now that they'd both be either on their own or away at college. Andy is 16 and
a Jr. in high school, and Gabe (our surprise) is not quite 8 yrs. old. Gabe was born just

web sight is great and very "informative" The hardest part is that we have no
answers we dont understand it.. It really tests your faith. We are trying to keep the
"faith".. Theres not a minute in the day that goes by that we dont think of
her.. Maybe one day we will get to the point where we can charish the 5 months we did have
with her, and take comfort that she is in gods "hands".One day mommy and Daddy
will be with you Raven we love you dearly.XOXOXO GOD BLESS US ALL!! |

Comments: Thank you for having this site available. It's been a while since I've
visited. I lost my daughter Megan desiree Hutchinson to SIDS Dec 9, 1997. Time has passed
quickly. Sept 8, 1998 would have been her first birthday. I miss her so, but she has made
me a better person. It's interesting how an event like this makes you re-evaluate your
life and what is important to you. I actually stop to smell the roses now. I also would
like any information / help that can be given to start a non-profit organization to help
people who don't have the funds to bury their children. Having a new baby is a financial
change these days, and having to bury them is a financial challenge. I was fortunate but
so many others are not. I see so many little graves without markers,because the family
can't afford one. It is heart breaking to me. I want to make a positive contribution for
such a difficult time. Although Meg is gone and I'm sad I have to do something positive to
heal. Thanks for letting me ramble. Take care all. Brenda B. Hutchinson |

daughter was on the sleeping monitor and while it made me a nervous wreck (not having
experienced a SIDS death) I know it was a great comfort to the parents. Alex is now 6 and
although I haven't seen her in a few years, she is precious. Her parents are great people.

had twins and are once again blessed with the sounds of little ones in the house, but it
is on days like this I do wonder what life would be like with a big brother helping out. I

Lapine, on 8Jan98. He died 1 day shy of his 8th week birthday. At 5 weeks old, Jeremy
suffered a "SIDS- Type" incident and was recesitated by the paramedics. Jeremy
never regained conciousness. However, during his time at the hospital I learned what
bravery, commitment, love, and faith are all about. I consider Jeremy a gift to the world,
as are all children. His story reached many people and his heart is reaching even more.
Like the ripples on the water after a stone is dropped, Jeremy's gift will spread. Even
though I would prefer to play with him, I am forever grateful that he is in my heart. My
only hope is that I can help my friend and in this I am fortunate that you have this
