Precious comfort

For Cranbourne's Wight family, Red Nose Day last Friday meant more than a fund-raising event - it was a time to remember one of their own. Like hundreds of other bereaved families, they recognised the symbolic day by attending a remembrance day service at St Michael's Uniting Church in Collins Street. Lyndal Wight, pictured with children Leila, Jarrah and Jaime, gave birth to twin girls in 2001 but one of the girls lived for only 11 days. "Chloe was born with breathing difficulties. After the third day her prognosis wasn't good and life support was removed. We went home with only Leila." Mrs Wight and another bereaved parent started the SIDS Kids and Multiple Births Association in 2003. "When their child dies, parents often a number of issues that they can't discuss with family or friends." Picture: Melissa Banks
