Summary

The cause of the killer of apparently healthy infants between the ages of one week and one year - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) - continues to defy science. This book explores how parents grieve, casual explanations they attribute to a SIDS death, effects of their grief on family relationships, and strategies they use to cope and carry on.
