Everyone surrounding a baby that dies of SIDS has their own "guilt". I guarantee you this mother had her own guilt. After my grandbaby died of SIDS in March we all had our guilt....mine being because I wasn't home when it happened. Normally I was the one that was up early in the household....therefore I would have been there with Brayden and it wouldn't have happened. Yes, that is what I told myself....my daughter had her guilt...everyone around us had guilt. Even down to his godparents because they were going to call and do something with him and didn't. Yet noone needs to feel guilty. Even if that mother was glad you had the baby so she didn't feel guilty....I can bet you she had her own guilt. We find a way of making Gods out of ourselves...thinking that we could prevent death. Even doctors have been known to be holding their own babies and had them pass away in their arms without being able to revive them.
