1. First Person Articles

These areas feature over 750 articles by people that have been personally impacted by the death of an infant due to SIDS, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal, or other infant death. These areas also include articles written by or for siblings who have been personally touched by the death of an infant sister or brother. E-mail links to some authors have been provided (with their permission).

We thank them for having the courage to share their experiences. We are reminded that we are not alone. Your stories and experiences are welcome. You can either post the First Person articles directly at http://sids-network.org/stories.htm, http://sids-network.org/storiespil.htm, or you can e-mail them to: sidsnet1-at-sids-network-dot-org 

2. Parents and siblings share information and answer frequently asked questions about SIDS

The parents and siblings frequently asked questions (FAQ) about SIDS on the SIDS Information Web Site can be seen at http://sids-network.org/faqparents.htm and http://sids-network.org/sibfaq.htm. Responses can be e-mailed to us at sidsnet1-at-sids-network-dot-org. We will then post the responses to this area of the web site. The responses are opinions and no one person is right or wrong. We do not need to include an individual's name or any other identifying factors unless the author requests to be identified in some way or they want their email address attached.
