like her who has died too soon. Our Angel Left us January 24, 2002 from
Interrupted SIDS. So grab some tissues, and browse through my pages of
Katee's life, death, SIDS and Infant Loss information.
Many Blessings and Hugs,
Lori Weakley
Please remember those families who are affected by this devastating loss.
research after Katee’s death, I found many books explaining what SIDS was or was not
and how to attempt to prevent it, but I found few that actually talked about how it
affected those left behind. What happens to that family left to pick up the pieces of their
shattered lives? What happens to the siblings left behind too young to really
understand grief? And what happens to a small community left to deal with the tragedy
of such a loss.
I am not an expert. I do not have a doctorate after my name. I have not been to school
to specialize in anything that would qualify me as a professional of this or that. What I
am is a mother who thought she was untouchable. A mother, who had 6 children, did
her best to raise them and in a few brief moments had her entire world shattered by
something no one can explain. What I am now is a woman who is driven to help others
suffering. My goal is to make a meek attempt to show you what you are feeling as
normal as any of this can be and to let you know no matter what or how you are feeling
you are not alone. I will not tell you I know what you are feeling….Because each of us
grieves in our own unique way. What I can say is I understand. There are other’s of
us out here, we are praying for you, and we do care!
The pain is still very real but the intensity is not as strong. It still hurts. I still cry. It's just
that I am finally able to function on these days. I can actually get up and shower. I can
go out in public and not cry at the sight of every baby. It is still unbelievable that instead
of presents, cake, family around the table taking pictures and laughing we will be at her
grave site. This is so unfair!
not as strong as it has been in the past. I still hurt but I am functioning. Night time is still
the worse. I have flashbacks that are so real. I can hear, feel, even smell everything
from that horrible day that we found her. I can still feel as I held her while life slipped
from her body. My arms ache to hold her, My heart aches for what should be. I get so
angry as I watch parents who are irresponsible with their toddlers. I want to scream "
Don't you know what a gift you have? " Katee had her SIDS Episode on the Anniversary
of Row-Vs-Wade. How Ironic is that? Here it is our nations biggest debate on what is
LIFE. All I want is to have my baby back.
unexplained death of an infant under the age of 1 year. It is not a Diagnosis. Instead, it
is elimination. SIDS is determined after all other conditions have been ruled out and a
full review of the scene has been done by police. Then an autopsy must be performed.
After all this is said and done if there are still no answers then it is ruled SIDS. So what
is SIDS? It is a medical unknown that sneaks into our homes steals our babies and
leaves us empty
