Surviving SIDS

[kiwidolly]

My baby girl, Emily died due to SIDS 10 years ago. Devastated doesn't begin to cover how I felt! It's only now that I can talk about what happened without crying. Last year, 8th Jan 07, 9 years after she died I found out I was pregnant and that the due date (8th Sept 07) I had was 4 days after Emily's (4th Sept). I wasn't sure how I would cope having a baby round about the same time as her due date.

My baby, which was a girl, was born on the 6th Sept after a 27 hour labour. On Emily's 10 year anniversary (8th Jan 08) my daughter is a smiliar age to Emily when she died. My thoughts have been preoccupied with this date and how would I cope, well, you do. There is a strength in all of us that helps to heal the hurt, although you will never forget your baby!! Even after all this time I still hurt but it is easier now that I'm past the anniversary date!

I just want to say to everyone that my thoughts are with you!!
I also want to say that life moves on. This may sound very harsh to you but you will move on but you will never forget your loved ones regardless how we lost them!
