its good that you are there for your sister.

I understand that you are hurting, I know losing my bub hurt my sister alot... Its good that you can be there for each other

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I lost a bub 21wks and that was devasting. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to deal with so late in pregnancy. I don't know about websites, but I do know that SIDS do a lot to support people who have lost babies of all ages and reasons - not just SIDS. I never got around to looking at their website, but I would imagine there would be a lot of help there.

Also, a number of church and community groups run support groups for those who have lost babies.

I hope that helps.

I have to say that I love the necklace idea. I wish I had thought of that when I lost Henry. I might still do something similar, even though we lost him over a year ago. I have a birthday coming up and lost for ideas. Maybe I might follow that up.

I would contact SANDS they are really good and will help you and your sister through this.

I am praying for you as this must be so hard.
