Books

This has been a subject I have touched on in years before.  One of the most comforting books for me was a book I received in a care package.  SIDS & Infant Death Survival Guide was helpful for me to see others perspectives.  It helped me to see how my children and my husband might be feeling.

The most helpful was the chapter on When a Baby Dies at the Child-Care Provider’s. It helped me to see how my daycare provider might be feeling.  It helped me to connect with her and ask her questions. It helped me to include her in our family and our grief. She was so much a part of our family before the loss of Clara and I knew I wanted her to be a part of it after.  SIDS could have happened anywhere and to anyone caring for our baby girl and unfortunately it happened in the care of someone we loved.

I always recommend this book to SIDS loss families and sometimes even to others.  Many will read this book and yet each will be touched in their own unique way.
