Southern California SIDS Support Group
No parent should have to carry this kind of loss alone.
Our mission is to walk alongside one another through
grief, healing, and life after SIDS or sudden unexpected
infant loss by offering compassion, understanding, and
the grounding power of shared lived experience.
Our purpose is to provide connection, understanding,
and peer support to parents and families navigating life
after infant loss, honoring each baby’s life and each
family’s grief without timelines, judgment, or
comparison.
We envision a safe and compassionate community
where bereaved parents are met with empathy, held in
shared understanding, and supported as they move
forward; one moment, one breath, and one step at a
time carrying love, remembrance, and hope.

What is SIDS?
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden and
unexpected death of a baby under one year old, usually during
sleep, that remains unexplained even after thorough medical
evaluation. It often happens without warning, in babies who
appeared healthy and well.
Important Things to Know About SIDS
There is no cure for SIDS, and it cannot be prevented.
There is no confirmed or single known cause of SIDS.
SIDS often occurs during sleep, quietly and without signs of
suffering.Nothing you did, or didn’t do, caused your baby’s death.
It is not your fault.
You are not alone in this. Support, understanding, and care are here for you.
