Sad news....trying to stay calm...loss mentioned

jtenkorang · July 2015

hey, my best friend from college lost her son to SIDS today. He was 5 months old. He was at daycare when it happened

he saved two lives in the end. But I just can't imagine losing my baby. I'm 35 weeks with twins and I'm just trying to stay calm so I don't go into labor. :-(. She lives very far away and I can't travel to see her. I'm so sad, I really want to be there for her. Sorry for the sad news tonight. It just hurts my soul.

Oh that's horrible! This is my worst fear.. And at daycare??
Dear lord please be with this family in there time of need. And give them peace. In your name I pray. Amen

jtenkorang · July 2015

Thanks everyone. I've been dreaming about this poor little boy all night. At least I'm dreaming about him playing in heaven and how much he's having. I just don't even know how I would begin to cope with this type of sadness. I've checked in my daughter way too many times tonight. I know she's older but it still scares me.

What a nightmare. So so sorry to read this. I am definitely praying for this sweet family.

May God comfort you and their family during this extremely hard time.

erinnlou · July 2015

That is so heartbreaking. T&P to you and your friend.
I can't imagine the guilt that the daycare workers must be feeling as well.

Just wanted to add- maybe you should add trigger warning or loss mentioned in the title of this thread.

MrsJIsbell · July 2015

This is heart breaking. I'm so sorry for your friend.

KAR8706 · July 2015

U both are in my prayers! God doesn't put more on us then we can bare even tho something like this feels unbearable...my condolences!! Gosh this breaks my heart. I worry every single day about my unborn just wanting him healthy.

shay092185 · July 2015

I am so sorry to hear this...this scares me to death! This happened to my friends daughter 2 months ago...a foundation called the thomas hilt Allen foundation reached out to her and paid for the funeral expenses...its a foundation for families who have lost children to SIDS...if u wanna do something for her there r these things called Molly Bears and they make a teddy bear with the weight and i believe size of the baby when it passed away...its a non profit and the proceeds go to research on SIDS. Again i am so sorry for your loss.

AlwaysSunny1012 · July 2015

I am so very sorry! Thoughts and prayers for your friend.

tierracmccoy · July 2015

This is so heartbreaking. My prayers are with you and your friend's family. I'm sitting here looking at my baby and can't imagine how I'd get through something like that.

Miz_Liz · July 2015

Absolutely heart wrenching. I can't even imagine what they are going through. I am a little blown away that it happened at Day Care, my expectation when my DS was at Day Care was that they were watching him 24/7, even while sleeping, so it bothers me that no one working there noticed the baby had stopped breathing. I am sure that a full investigation was conducted, but I just can't even imagine...every parents' worst nightmare. Many many thoughts and prayers to help them through this difficult time.

SBbabyonboard · July 2015

Such a scary and devastating loss for this poor family, and for it to happen at a daycare. I pray that this family is able to find forgiveness in their hearts as I know myself I don't know how I would ever live with that. Thoughts and prayers for you and your friend at this horrific time.

jtenkorang · July 2015

THank you for sharing these resources! They have a go fund account set up and only after 3 hours they almost have $5000 for his funeral costs but I did share the information you gave me. I hope they are able to do something with those organizations. I'm sure she will as she is a sweet caring and loving individual who strives to stay involved. Especially since she's a therapist herself. Thanks again!!

AmyPrieto14 · July 2015

So sorry for your friends loss. She gained a guardian angel watching over her in heaven. I fear of SIDS all the time. I only had my daughter home 3 days now & sometimes I just lay awake watching her sleep.

tamiko1031 · July 2015

My condolences..

TaraLinnet · July 2015

I am so sorry for your friends loss... It is something I cannot even imagine and is terrifying just to think of... Please know your friend and her families is on my thoughts and prayerd

shannonota · July 2015

I'm sorry for your friends loss. SIDS scares me like I'm sure it does any parent. We purchased the Snuza hero breathing and movement monitor. It clips on babies diaper and counts breathing and movement. If baby doesn't breath for more than 15 seconds it vibrates to wake baby and if that doesn't work than and alarm goes off at 20 seconds. It was $120 at babies r us and let me tell you, it has given me so much peace of mind even though he sleeps 2 ft from me. It's something to look into.

jtenkorang · July 2015

Thanks! I am looking into those. But I'm having twins so I'd need 2 of them

shannonota · July 2015

Have you had your baby shower yet? Could always ask for it they way?

jtenkorang · July 2015

I'm not having one. I had one with my daughter and she's only 16 months old.
