Here's part of my story.....
Life with S.I.D.S
When i was 17 i had my first baby...(i know too young)
its amazing how one minute your a kid and the next your life revolves around
someone so little. She was 8pds and 21 1/2 inches long..... SHE WAS PERFECT!
She was amazing in every way and
taught me so many things. looking into her eyes you could get lost and it seemed
like she understood everything.
Thanx for taking time to
read my life or just a piece that is.....
She was amazing in every way and
taught me so many things. looking into her eyes you could get lost and it seemed
like she understood everything.
All our checkups went great and my baby was hitting all the milestones. I
was the mom that sat there and just stared when she was sleeping, i now sang
lullabyes and danced around the room. I did whatever it took to make that sweet
porcelian face light up. Anyone that held her was in love...maybe she was
magic....lol
Well it was getting close to Easter so every little girl needs a special
dress for that special day! so i got her 4!
We went for a long walk on the beach...which i believe she loved.
I got her ready for bed all snuggled and warm....
little did i know that would be the last time, i would get to dress my real
life porcelian doll.
The next morning i woke up and flew out of bed, i didnt understand why! i
went to check on my girl......
She was gone to me forever......
The days to follow were a blur....really the years after were still a
blur!
16 yrs later It still hurts and nothing will ever change that....
You asked me about support groups...I have listed a few on my links page. I have found the SIDS group at Daily Strength (www.dailystrength.org) to be the most helpful. I've met a lot of nice people on there.
ReplyDeleteThank-you... i actually added a group on fb and thought it was awesome. Until i went through there pics.( I know everyone grieves in their own way) what i didnt know is they had pics of children that had passed. Still to this day i cant handle that. Its an image i wish i could forget. I want to remember her amazing eyes but i cant. I only see what i dont want to.
ReplyDeleteI AM SO SO SORRY, IT'S NOT RIGHT TO LOSE AN INFANT TO SUCH A TRAGIC INCIDENT. WHY? WE STILL DO NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. I READ YOUR STORY WITH TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY CHEEK. YOU ARE STRONG AND IT IS GOOD TO TALK ABOUT IT. PRAYERS FOR YOU, I HOPE THEY HELP, IT'S ALL I CAN OFFER.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you had to go through this. I can relate to the 17 year old mom and how life changed in an instant. I can't even come close to it all changing so devastatingly in the next.
