i am so sorry for your loss of your beautiful baby boy Joshua and the pain you are feeling......we lost our little Siena May on april 12,08,,,,,,,we still do not know why...at scootch's funeral we played eric clapton-tears in heaven and i read a couple versus from ''you are my sunshine''.....when & if you are ready and need friends to talk to ''the sudden infant death group''is filled with very supportive and kind people that have all been through the loss of a baby....again i am so very sorry,none of us should have to go through this.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. I lost my son at 15 months 2-3-08. I agree with Sienasdad the suddent infant death group is wonderful. They accepted me even though my Kyle did not pass away from SIDS. At Kyle's service the Rev. sang the first verse of "You are my Sunshine" and then the congregation sang the same first in unison. Then the Rev. sang "Amazing Grace" These were his favorite songs. Whatever you do go with your gut. If it feels like the right thing to say or do no matter what other people's opinion's are. You, your baby and your family will be in my thoughts on Saturday.

I am sorry for your loss. ALthough it is a sad song, I have always loved "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton. He wrote it about his sons' death, and the pain he felt, yet hope he held that they would meet again. Huggs, Rainbow

These are 2 songs that I have on my baby's memorial web site. Sweety, I am sooooooooooooo sorry for your loss!!!!!!!!!! Another thing I did was at Nicholas's funeral when it was over we did a balloon launch to Heaven because I knew the angels were celebrating my baby coming home. I had 50 white balloons one for every day he was here. I know you son had minutes and I am so sorry you only had that, but I will say the balloons helped me as silly as it may sound. It also helped my young neice and nephews understand that Nicholas is in Heaven now too. I am here if you want to talk. Our circumstances are not the same, but we both know what this pain is like, again I am soooooooooooooooooo sorry hunny! UHGS


Golden Slumbers by the Beatles
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye


and the other

Missing You - John Waite

Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say

There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight

CHORUS:
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say

And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload

CHORUS

I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself

And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight

CHORUS

Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no
No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...

There are 2 songs that really speak to me. Here is the first

Karen Taylor Good
Precious Child lyrics
Complimentary "Precious Child" ringtone
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart





This is the second:




Held - Natalie Grant



Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling
Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
Were asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held
If hope is born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait, for one hour
Watching for our savior
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held




I hope this helps.

My heart breaks for you. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Joshua. I also recommend you join the SIDS support group. Again, I'm sorry for your loss...(((hugs)))

This brought tears to my eyes and I am so very very sorry for your loss..I lost my son at 41 minutes 1/27/2008-we had my hubbys aunt sing a song that she wrote when she learned of him passing-I heard the song @2 wks later that Leosmommy said "precious child" you can get it on u-tube and it is a wonderful, yet tear jerking song-
I am here for you if you need to talk and again I am so sorry for your loss!
