SIDS & SUDC SUPPORT
SIDS Calgary Society (SCS) is both a charity and a support resource for grieving family members. SCS provides support to parents, children, grandparents and friends through events and group activities. These activities include fundraising and networking events for people who have been affected by SIDS & SUDC to connect with others in similar situations.
SIDS Calgary Society provides a 24 Hour Hotline for anyone who needs support at any time of the day. The Hotline will provide either a parent who has experienced a similar situation, or a support person to help you through this difficult time. If you are struggling or need immediate help, please don’t hesitate to call for assistance (403) 265-SIDS (7437).
SIDS Calgary Society receives donations from generous Canadians to help in funding SIDS research in Alberta. SCS uses some of these proceeds to keep resources running such as the website resources and local events. The rest of the donations go towards SIDS research, how it can be prevented, and uncovering its mystery..
“ Coming to the SIDS Calgary memorial picnic in honour of our daughter Avery was emotional, but also really meaningful. It felt good to be in a space where people truly get it—where you don’t have to explain the kind of love and loss you're carrying. Being with other families, sharing stories, remembering our little ones… it reminded me that we're not alone, and that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. I'm grateful for this community and this chance to honour Avery with others who understand.”
Ryan Decker (Avery’s Dad)
“ Attending the Wave of Light was both comforting and deeply healing. Being surrounded by other families who understand this kind of loss created a sense of connection and solace. Watching the little lights flicker, each one a symbol of love and remembrance - was a powerful reminder to take intentional time to honour our loved ones and share their light with the world.”
