Losing A Baby To SIDS

[LachlansMun]

I have a very close nit family (I've only just moved out of home myself) and when my baby nephew passed away two years ago we were all distraught. He was two months premature and only 4lb, but was very healthy when he was brought home. He passed away at 6 weeks old and my sister still blames herself, it's sad to watch her suffer so badly. She went through a period of drinking herself silly, and when she gave birth to her second, she didn't want to get close to him and she'd go out and leave him at home with our mum.
Now he's 17 months and she's a great mum to him, I think she just had to get past that age where she was afraid it would happen again. We still morn for his older brother though, it's just so tragic and unfair that a life should be taken at that young age.
We just beleive that God had a greater purpose for him in heaven, he wanted another angel and Zeidyn was the angel he was looking for.

So to hear of your sisters lose, i cant say i blame her for going on a bit of a binge and not wanting to get too close to her son, i bet she a fantastic mother thou, its a loss she will feel for the rest of her life and her little cherub was needed in heaven. Big hugs coming your way :)

special hugs to you and your family, i cant imagine your sisters pain, losing a child must be a grief so terrible, it would be almost impossible to bear, sounds like you are a wonderful, caring family though that are with her 110% of the way.

I can't imagine loosing my son, it's my all time worst fear, your poor sister!


Hugs

I have been TOTALLY paranoid about sids since the day he was born! A huge problem for me when he had colick and would only sleep if I was holding him or next to him in our bed, and the sids and kids foundation strongly advises against co-sleeping, especially in a waterbed, which we have! We don't smoke or drink or use any drugs, and he sleeps well away from our bedding in his own little wrap, but I still wake up every 20min and make sure he's ok! :o

I am not christian in any way so I have trouble dealing with things like this, the loss of a child is always a tragic waste, I'm gald your sister was able to get through her grief so she could be a mother to her other child.

Huge hugs to your whole family, and everyone out there affected by sids.
