SIDS - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome of Virginia

Welcome to
Virginia SIDS Alliance

Who we are... We are the families of infants whose deaths weres caused by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). As parents, every infant is special, every infant is OURS. The sudden, unexpected death of a child is the greatest shock a family can experience. We remember our sons and daughters as the beautiful, vibrant miracles they are ~ though our arms are empty, our hearts are full of their love which lasts forever. We live with the question, "Why?" and yearn to hear the answer. We join with you in grief for your child and for every child who has passed.
