"SIDS Families: Years Later" A work in progress by Debbie Gemmill "My new book is tentatively titled, "SIDS Families:Years Later." I have already heard from over 100 families, and other parents are invited to participate." "My son, Tyler, died from SIDS on May 25, 1982. He was our second child, an apparently healthy 7 month old baby who went to sleep for an afternoon nap and never woke up. It has been 16 years since his death, but I have learned from my own experience that grief 'recovery' takes much longer than most people realize, and that even years later, we find our lives have been changed in many ways." "This is the premise of my new book. My previous books have dealt with new grief, subsequent pregnancies, and the ongoing journey. With this new book, I'd like us to take a look at the long term effects of the loss of a baby on the family." - Debbie Gemmill A copy of her questionnaire "SIDS Families: Years Later" is available on the SIDS Network web site at http://sids-network.org. The questionnaire is designed for those who have lost children 5 or more years ago. It is meant as a guide only; I would encourage anyone to write as much as they would like and to include an address and/or phone number if they would be willing to be contacted for a more indepth interview. Debbie can be contacted through email at Mom2127@aol.com Other books by Debbie Gemmill include: -The Chance to Say Goodbye: One family's journey through grief sensitively told through a mother's journal entries.
