SIDS
Link was created to provide a contact point for people that have experienced a
situation similar to yours. Losing a child is a painful experience, feeling
alone with that pain is a tragedy.
This
site was conceived as part of a capstone project for Regis University. In
researching the feasibility of creating an on-demand SIDS group in the Tri-City
area (Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley, Colorado), it seemed that some
existing local support services were hesitant to collaborate, mainly due to the
fact that they had very few SIDS clients. The idea to find another avenue to
get people together rather than the conventional “support group” came from
roadblocks experienced while attempting to organize such a group. Providing a
virtual meeting place, somewhere that a contact was literally an email away,
seemed like the next best thing.
This
site was launched by a woman who chose be a contact for others who need to talk,
who need resources, for those SIDS family members that need someone to listen to
them and tell them that they are not alone.
