SIDS and Infant Death Survival Guide: Information & Comfort for Grieving Family & Friends & Professionals Who Seek to Help Them   Joani Nelson Horchler and Robin Rice

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is “the most common cause of death for babies between the ages of one month to one year,” yet few parents know much about it until their families are affected. Although this book is primarily a resource for grief-stricken families recovering from the loss of their children, it’s also a primer for all prospective parents, especially the chapter titled “What Everyone Should Know about SIDS.” The information is interlaced with heartrending personal experiences and poetry supplied by family members who responded to Horchler’s call for contributions through parent support groups
