At the SUDC Foundation, we’re committed to funding research that brings us closer to answers about Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC). Every family who participates in research contributes vital information to better understand SUDC and a world free of SUDC.

It’s important for families to understand their rights and what participation involves. Being informed ensures that decisions about joining a study are made with confidence, clarity, and comfort.

We’re sharing our FAQ, “What Parents or Guardians Should Know About SUDC Research,” to empower families. Here’s one important question we highlight:

“What are my rights as a parent, legal guardian, or participant?”
You have the right to:
🔹Receive a clear explanation of the study before enrolling
🔹Ask questions at any time throughout the study
🔹Decline or withdraw from the study at any point without penalty
🔹Have your privacy and data protected under ethical and legal standards
🔹Know how your data and specimens will be stored and shared
🔹Participation is always voluntary.

Have More Questions?
The SUDC Foundation is here for you. Contact us at: [email protected]

Today is National Rainbow Baby Day, a day that holds a deep and meaningful place in our hearts. A "rainbow baby" is a child born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss—a beautiful symbol of hope and light after a storm.

​While our nonprofit was created in memory of Josephine, we know firsthand the profound journey of grief and hope. Today, we stand with every parent who has experienced loss as well as those who have welcomed a rainbow baby. Your stories are a testament to resilience and love.
​We see you. We support you. 🌈​

This day is a powerful reminder of our mission: to honor our daughter's legacy by supporting those who are navigating grief while some may be navigating new beginnings.
​
Your support helps us continue to be a source of light for families. Today, on this special day, we ask you to consider donating or sharing our message to help us support our mission.

Today, on National Rainbow Baby Day, we take a moment to reflect on the profound and varied journeys of families after the loss of a child.

For some, a rainbow baby represents renewed hope and the gift of new life following grief. For others, the path of growing their family again may not be possible or may be a choice they have made.

At the SUDC Foundation, we deeply understand the complexity of child loss and the unique challenges it brings to every family. We hold space for all experiences—with respect, compassion, and trauma and grief informed support.

In honor of this day, our Poet Laureate, Rev. Kim Wildszewski, mother of Malcolm, shares a poem she wrote after the birth of her rainbow baby, Otis—a moving reflection on love, memory, and hope.

Read Kim’s full poem on our blog: https://sudc.org/awe-full-a-poem-by-rev-kim-wildszewski-mother-of-malcolm/

Regardless of where you are on your journey, your child’s memory remains a lasting light, and your story matters. You are seen, you are honored, and you are not alone.

If you or someone you know is grieving, please reach out for support—connection can be a vital step in your grief journey.
