[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 474590, member: 1722"] {{{Linda}}} It's life-changing for everyone when a child dies. My extended family went through that when I was first pregnant with-Duckie but it was sudden: my cousin's baby boy came down with a severe bacterial meningitis infection and was dead withing 36 hours. Truly, the family will never be the same. Bad things happen to good people all the time. As for the age of five being seen as the age of survival... I don't think that is so uncommon. My father once told me that prior to the medical miracles of antibiotics and vaccinations, it wasn't uncommon for children to go unnamed until after their third birthday since so many died of conditions and illnesses that are now easily treatable. My cousin's son died at 1 year, 8 days old. He was my aunt's second grandchild. She told me that she worried incessantly about each of the subsequent children born into the family until after 1 year, 9 days. [/QUOTE]
