My gorgeous 6 week old son died on March 14, 2008 in his sleep. This tragedy has devastated our lives and has me on a roller coaster of emotions. I found him that morning not breathing and with no pulse. I immediately began CPR and called 911. The paramedics came and tried to save him even at the hospital, but it was too late he was already gone. I want to know from other parents of children who have died due to SIDS of any web resources or organizations that help parents cope with their loss.

What can I do next?

Dearest Y.
I am so very sorry to hear about your very tragic loss. There can't be anything worse. You must be going through a dreadful time of numbness, shock, pain and depression.
I pray that our dear Lord Jesus Christ will comfort you during this time as he has said "I am close to the broken-hearted" and I pray for your family, relations and friends as well.
Here is a very good website for grief support:

which I trust will be of some blessing to you.
I send my love and tears
Jewel

Dear Y., I just want to say that I'm so sorry and that I'm praying for you. I hope you and those around you will be allowed to grieve in the way you need to and that you'll be able to treasure the memories of the bundle of love that came to live in your home. This life is very short for all of us which we realize when we have an eternal perspective. The blessing is that you will have this loved one for all eternity and he's in very good hands.

I am so sorry to hear about your son.. How devastating this must be. I cannot imagine the pain your are going through..There are SIDS support groups out there. You should be able to find one in your area. Use google to find the closest one or ask your pediatrician.

I pray for you and your family - I have found prayer to work a miracle for me in the past when I was experiencing a crisis, and I feel that it can work for you as well. I hope everyone who reads this prays for you and your family to have peace. God has to help you through it. I recently read - God does not let us suffer alone, he suffers right along with you.

I encourage you also to look in to Compassionate Friends, or another group for parents who have lost a child. Also find an organization you can join to help those who are in need in some way, if you feel this would be right for you, and when you are ready to do so. I am a Sunday school teacher, and although it is a commitment, it brings a lot more to me I am sure than I bring to it. Allow yourself time to grieve though.

Bless you, your family, and your baby who is most definitely in Heaven. You are loved.

There is an organisation called Bonnie babes whi8ch was set up specifically for families who have suffered losses such as yours. They provide peer counsellours to talk with. The counsellours have been trained but are mums like yourself, who may or may not have been through something similar.
I wish you all the best as you journey through this time.....I am so sorry for your loss.
