Haven't cried so hard in a long time (trigger: loss, not mine)

Please secure your furniture, this is too heartbreaking to contemplate. It can happen to you. My nephew's dresser fell on him last year (3 years old), but we were all lucky enough that no lasting damage was done.

    Yes I anchor all tipping hazards in my home! When my nephew was a baby he managed to pull an old school tv on himself (the square heavy kind). We were all in the room but it happened so fast we couldn't reach him in time. My father was an old guy but he ripped that tv off him like it was nothing, it later took 2 of us to put it back on the stand. Thankfully he was fine and we learned a very scary lesson.

    I couldn't stop reading it...even though tears were streaming down my face.
    Things will be anchored in my home. Immediately.

    I read the whole thing. And bawled. And held my sleeping baby in my lap just a little tighter. Can't even imagine. We had a friend lose their 5 month old son to SIDS in May 2012. They still sign cards with his name, celebrate his birthday, etc. I didn't get it at first, but having my own baby now, I totally get it. I'm not sure how they get out of bed everyday knowing he isn't there, but they live on...and she has been one of my biggest supporters with my dd.

    This goes around every few months and it is heartbreaking as hell.

    I bawled and just stared into my sweet baby's eyes. I totally get the overprotective parent now. Nothing is too extreme when it's about preventing a death.

    I think I'd shank someone if they told me everything happens for a reason...

    Living in SoCal with earthquakes, I've learned to always anchor unstable things to the wall. This just reminds me to do a triple check for things LO can grab.

    Nope. Got to the second picture of the dresser and had to stop. I just can't.

    I'm not sure I can read this... but MH pulled his dresser onto himself when he was about 2 or 3 years old.  No lasting damage that we know of hallelujah.  We will be anchoring all furniture to walls.  Not taking any chances on MH's spawn.

    My FIL was married previously to my MIL and had a son from his first marriage.  When he and my MIL were engaged to be married the little boy fell down a few steps at daycare.  He developed a massive brain hemorrhage following his concussion and died a few days later after unsuccessful corrective surgery, just before his 3rd birthday.  So so so sad.  It is terrifying.  

    I will never understand why little kids die for any reason.  It's hard enough that I work in an environment where more of our adult patients die than make it out alive due to the nature of their critical illnesses.  Death sucks all the time, but especially when it's kids.

    I skimmed it because I didn't feel like getting too emotional but even reading those few words I'm a bawling mess. Having h secure the stuff today.

    That was really hard to read because I am usually on the other side. I'm a Peds ER nurse and have seen way to many preventable injuries/deaths.

    This actually happened to a coworker of mine. The boyfriend was taking a shower and the 3yr old tipped a chest onto himself. Absolutely heartbreaking, I would never be able to forgive myself :(
