SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths claim the lives of 3,600 babies every year, and the death of an infant affects not only parents, but grandparents, family members, friends, and those in their community.  First Candle provides 24/7 bereavement support, offering compassion, expertise, professional guidance, and a network of people who understand because they too know the pain of losing a baby.
