I think the best thing I could do in this situation was to just hold her, every time she wanted to know why it broke my heart. I have 2 children and never lost one. I couldn't understand how she felt she was in love with that baby and took great care of him. Cherish every moment you have with your baby, hug them and love them watch them grow because you never know when they will have to go.
Read up on S.I.D.S. learn everything you can, Don't put them on their stomach, don't keep them to hot, don't put big thick blankets on them. 2500 babies die each year from this. Boys, African American and native American are at high risk.

Step1

On April 26, 2008 I got a phone call from my daughter. I answered the phone with a big smile on my face. There was my son n law on the other end telling me the baby was gone and my daughter screaming in the back ground. My baby, My baby. I asked what do you mean? He said momma the baby is dead! At that moment I feel to the floor not knowing what had happened.

Step2

My daughter got on the phone I could not understand a word she said. I heard the paramedic in the back ground saying move back! My daughter got on the phone and said she woke up and he was blue she picked him up and he did not move. I screamed noooo god nooooo, why? What happened? The only thing I could do when I seen her was hold her and watch her.

They let her see him, he was in the room on a pillow and she layed next to him and cried. She gave him a kiss and asked said mommy my baby is so cold. Why is he so cold?

Step4

I explained to her the process of death, her first instinct was to make him warm. All she kept saying was I miss my baby, then would look in the sky for him. My daughter stayed as strong as she could through this loss. My 16 year old is now a young woman, and she had the chance to be a mom. She works hard to get her life together for her future.

Step5

The day of the funeral she didn't want to go, she said she wouldn't be able to watch them put her baby in the ground. Then I spoke with her and let her know she needed to say bye to him and he wouldn't want it any other way. I had a big part in this getting her through this, We miss him dearly, What helps is we know he had no pain when he passed.

Step6

This is her and her baby We know he is in heaven and he is with god, looking down on us. I will always remember his smile. I do look forward to holding my next grand baby, and I will never forget the day he was born. I was there to see him come into this world, and I even got him to smile for me before he left this world.
