Hello Jody,
Welcome. There aren't too many folks on the list as of yet. Word is just getting out about it.
I lost my daughter, Melissa, "Missy," on May 19, 2004. She had battled Hodgkin's for 19 months. She had a bone marrow transplant, but was not strong enough to fight pnemonia.
Her website is at: http://www.palmettostateroot.org/missy
I meet with a group of ladies here in Sumter, SC. We call ourselves Mothers of Angels. Our website is:
We have learned to cope by helping one another. Our losses vary from losing a child to a disease such as cancer to murder to mothers of police officers lost in the line of duty.

I know one of you for certain, Densy, my name is Jody and I lost
my 1st son Peyton James to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) in
October 1999. He was born April 4, 1999 (Easter Sunday that year).
He was such a joy and the light of my life. I thank God everyday I
had the 7 months with him that I was blessed with. Please visit his
web site to learn more about him:

I also have 2 more sons now, Colin (5-1/2) and David (3 soon to be
4). I enjoy nothing more than being a mother and when Peyton died I
felt like my whole heart had been ripped out of my body. Fortunate
for me God blessed me with a wonderful supportive family and I have
managed to make it throught the last 6-1/2 years with my sanity
mainly in tact. With the help of God, my family, and a few
wonderful friends I have gone on to become a peer contact for other
families experiencing an infant loss such as mine or any other from
newborn to a year of age. I do this through SIDS of Illinois
(sudden infant death services of IL) and I am also a SIDS
Educator/Trainer for central and downstate IL via SIDS of IL.
I am 30, the mother of 3 boys, a teaching assistant, and a grief
counselor so to speak. Oh and did I mention that I also do memorial
services for the same area. Always busy! LOL, wouldn't trade a
minute of it. I firmly believe that this is what the Lord meant for
me to do when he sent me Peyton. I hope to get to know all of you.
