Hi My Story

Hi I just joined and thought I would share my story and see what the response is. My son Eian was born on March 16 2008 at 4:31pm and passed on April 18th 2008 at around 5:30am. he was an angel that was called back to heaven.
Eian was nursed and so he would only sleep at night in my arms and thats where he passed. When my boyfriends alarm went off for him to go to work I got up and gently moved Eian off my arm. He did not move and he his color was all wrong. I knew he was gone. He just went to sleep and did not wake up. I am 23 and this was my first baby. I have never lost anyone until him. He was perfect. If you would have asked me I would have told you he was thriving. Though we still have not received a death certificate the Unofficial official word is SIDS. I read alot about SIDS but never thought it would happen to my beautiful family. Now I am more heartbroken then I ever thought possible. Thanks for reading.
Peace~
Amanda

" Amanda,
Hunny I am so sorry that you are here, I just wish we all were here for a different reason. I lost Nicholas, my son over 6 months ago. I can not tell you that it will ever be better but as angry as it made me to hear, there is some truth to time healing. Eian is precious!!! Please come back here often, although we all are at different stages of grief we are all here for each other! HUGS! "

" My God, I went on this website looking for a few articles to read because my 9 week old great niece died last week of what we think was SIDS. I never expected to read all your stories. Here I am crying about Casey as her Aunty/God Mother and all of you are experience what I could never imagine. I have heard of SIDS and never thought I would know anyone that has lost their child because of it. Now it has knocked on my door. I don’t know how to handle this, as I mentioned I was looking for some answers on the internet and came across all your stories. I don’t understand why there are so many babies dying. All of you and your angels are in my prayers. "
