I was alone

Mom to Torsten David, "TJ".

Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1998

Please add my son Torsten David, "TJ" to your list of angels. He was born Jan 30, 1985. He died on 5 May 1985. I went through the same thing as the lady who wrote How NOT to Treat a SIDS Survivor. My husband and I were accused of murder but it took 5 days after he died for them to even question us. That is except for my commander who came within minutes after he was called. It was 13 years ago but it still hurts very much and I still cry every time I think of him. I feel the pain the lady went through to be accused of killing her son. All survivors can only help each other. It helps to have someone who cares and can share your pain.

I was alone. My husband and I were put against each other. My mother did not even try to understand what I was going through. My mother -in-law accused me of not loving my son TJ as much as my first son, who was 2and a half when TJ died. No one cared what I was going through or what I still go through every day. I love all my children the same and still love TJ just as much as the day he died. I can not understand why God took him from us but I have learned not to question I have not received any answers or apologies ever from the people who accused me of killing my son.
