- Sorry ladies, this is a vent. Why are there so many parents here who's babies died from SIDS at 5 months!!! Don't the "professionals" say the highest risk group is 2-4 months??? What do they know anyway. I did everything to redue the risk of SIDS...
- The holidays are a tough time. Its hard to continue on with family traditions when a very important part of our families is missing. Last year, some of us did a holiday gift exchange with the idea being to give a gift that memorializes our angel...
- I know many of you have spoken to EMS personel, hospital staff, etc. about the treatment of parents after the death of an infant. I found an article today that seems to be pretty helpful. For me, it always helps to have information written by...
- For Austin's first angel day I decided to put a memorial ad in the obituary section of our local newspaper. It wasn't anything too fancy, just a picture of him, his name, dates, a short message from Nick, my mom and I, and his website url. I was so...
- One of my coworkers told me she saw this story on the news this weekend. Just thought I would share it with you all... I know many of us feel the same way as this mom, especially since she lost her baby girl to SIDS. I'm so glad to see that a news...
- Hey everyone. I came accross this pamphlet published by SIDS and Kids (an Australia organization) concerning the topic of children after SIDS. I think it is the most comprehensive publication I have seen on the topic. There are some really good...

- I received an email from Latika (another SIDS mom here on Daily Strength) about the following webinar. I asked her if it was okay to share with you all and she said absolutely. Webinar Registration Now OpenSudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID):...
- Has anyone ever done this? I was thinking it would be a good way to honor Austin and to raise money for SIDS. The only problem I'm having is with the SIDS info. cards that are supposed to be distributed to those who donate. Before I commit to...
- Okay everyone. I know many of us are ready for 2009 to be over... and are hoping that 2010 will be a kinder gentler year. Many of us are depressed and don't want to do anything fun, or feel guilty when we do something for ourselves that might take...
- Is anyone else not getting emails about new journals, hugs, messages, community updates, etc? I didn't get any yesterday or today.
- Just a reminder to try to have your gift in the mail no later than Monday, December 14. We have decided to open gifts on Christmas Day rather than opening them when you receive them. I think it will be nice to have something to open for our angel...
- Does anyone know how to get in touch with her? She signed up for the gift exchange and I still haven't gotten a mailing address from her. I know they are in the process of moving so maybe she doesn't have computer access right now.
