Hi,
as you know I am Sandy and I lost my precious grand-daughter to S.I.D.S on Feb 13th 2006, she was eight weeks old.
I live in a village in the countryside but originally come from Nottinghamshire.I do fund raising for F.S.I.D in the hope one day they may find a cause/cure for it as it kills 300-500 babies every year and that is more then any other illness, cancer, accident etc, etc.
The government DO NOT help and 85% of the money they get comes from fund raising and sponsership.
Love and  Sandy xxxx

Hi. My little girl would be 30 this year had SIDS not taken her at 3 weeks. My firstborn grandchild also became an angel ,not to SIDS but at birth   in Sept 2005.There has never been any where to go to to chat about my daughter as in those days there was no support network.The more recent loss of my grandson truly devastated me also xx Shels

A sad welcome to OFB.  It must have been awful for you losing your daughter 30 years ago with no support for you.  Then to have it happen to your first grandchild. 

I hope you find support and friendship here.

I look forward to getting to know you.

 Hi I'm Emma,i'm 23 and from Doncaster south yorkshire. I lost my son Matthew at 16 weeks old. I was 17.  He was perfectually healthy as far as we knew. On the 4th feb 2003 he started to be sick so I took him to AnE, The docs took one look at him and said he had a tummy bug and sent him home, I out him to bed. The 5th feb 2003 I woke up to find him dead in his cot, just 16 weeks old. The post mortem results came back that he had died of a twisted bowel, which the doctor should of picked up on had he done the proper test's!!, As a result I lost my son and I will never trust another doctor again!!.
 I now have Bradlee who is 3 and Mason who is 13 months old, but there is and always will be a massive gap in my life and my heart where my beautiful baby Mattie should be!

  Hello, my name is Amy Love, I am 22 years old and I live in frederick, MD, USA. My baby boy Matthew was taken from me on June 18th, 2007...because of SUDI (sudden unexplained death in infants) as I'm told. The ME who I talked to today as a matter of fact, advised me they typically do not use "SIDS" anymore. Matthew had a twin brother named Dylan and a big brother named Joey, 3. He also had a mommy and daddy who love him very much. We miss him so much and think about him everyday.

Hi I'm Wayne and I'm from Northern Ireland.

My story begins on 14th June 2006 when my first born son came into this world weighing 8lb 1/2oz. We were never as happy. We spent the following weeks travelling everywhere to show off our son Lee, we were so proud. A very short 14 weeks 5 days later we were left stunned. Our 'wee man' had been called home on 25th September 2006. No explanation was given, his 3 older sisters as well as myself and his mummy were left numb. It felt like part of me was missing. The day of the funeral the coroners report arrived, cause of death UNKNOWN.

It wasn't until 3 days before Christmas that the coroner again contacted us stating that our 'wee man' Lee had died of S.I.D.S. and the coroner explained how sorry they were that they couldn't come up with any answers and that he was healthy in every way.

As we now approach his 1st anniversary things don't get any easier, his 3 older sisters talk about him and miss their wee brother. As parents we try to remain sain for the kids sake, trying to hide our hurt and pain. We now have a little daughter born on 23rd July 2007 and although it is extremely hard to carry on, we must. She has given us hope and belief as well as the strength to carry us through the long hard days and years without our son.

In remembrance of our son Lee we have made and are selling S.I.D.S. awareness ribbons, with the money raised going to F.S.I.D. If anyone would like some then please email me at sids-awareness@talktalk.net all we ask is for a minimum donation of £1 and a little extra to cover postage to enable us to give as much money to charity as possible.

I hope to speak to some other parents soon through these forums.

Thank you for listening (or should I say reading) my rant.
