I am a mother of four children, three now grown, one passed from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) 17 years ago.

I am interested in reading stories or comments of your personal experiences.

Maybe yourself or someone you know has had an experience with a family member, friend, neighbour, or just heard a story of someone experiencing this horrible happening.

I personally think that through writing, reading, talking, maybe we can help each other or someone else get through their personal experience with SIDS or SUDS.

Myself, I was quite surprised when I started opening up to people about my personal experience, there were more people than I ever imagined that either had a personal experience or knew someone that had an experience with SIDS.

I know that myself and my family have learned to move on, but we will never forget what happened that day in January 1992, 3 months and 9 days after my beautiful son was born, that we know and love as DJ - Derrick Jay, Born October 15, 1991.

My ex, my son's father was terribly traumatized and hurt for a considerable amount of time. Our son was given his father's name and was born on his father's birthday. Needless to say, he didn't celebrate his birthday for years, quite honestly I am not even sure if he celebrates at all until this very day.

Please feel free to leave your stories, or general comments. I'm interested in reading how other people have gotten through or not got through this experience.
