Book

One of the best books for me was SIDS & Infant Death Survival Guide (http://www.amazon.com/SIDS-Infant-Death-Survival-Guide/dp/0964121808/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381685730&sr=8-2&keywords=SIDS+%26+infant+death+survival+guide).

I got this book with the care package I received from Brianne & Lach’s Legacy.  I found a lot of help in it and comfort.  I read about so many other families that had experienced a sudden loss and how some of them handled different situations.  I found great tips on how to handle the comments that would come from not having a girl visible in out family, even though we do have one.  I also read some of the comments that might be said to me and that were, for the most part, said to me.  I felt prepared to go back to the real world with a realistic expectation on what I would hear and how it might make me feel.  I was able to be pro-active about coming up with ways to talk to my kids, daycare, husband, family, and most of all how to let those “comforting” words from others fall off my back without being a burden of hate.  I recommend this book to anyone whether you have experienced a loss or not.  If you have never experienced a loss, you will finish with ways to comfort and help someone who has lost an infant.
