nurse lost baby to SIDS

RNforLongTime · Oct 25, 2007

I am an LPN and mother of five. On OCT 11 I lost my 3 month old to SIDS. No warning. No sickness. He was extremely strong and vibrant. Just had a check up two weeks prior. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I hated my nursing experience due to the fact that as soon as I found him that morning I knew he was gone and I could do nothing about it. I haven't gone back to work yet and I am terrified to. If anyone else out there has been through this please talk to me.

A former co-worker and friend lost her three month old son to SIDS on Oct 5th this year . Ang, I am so so sorry. I have no words as I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I am very sorry for your loss. You, your family, and baby Morgan are all in my prayers. Grieve the way that is best for you and don't worry what others say. How could they possibly understand if they haven't been through it? Keep your head up and hopefully things will get better with time. :saint: :icon_hug:

I am so sorry for your loss (((hugs)))

I think many of us have had similar losses, so know you aren't alone. Nothing helps the pain of losing a child, but support does make it bearable.
