Talking Away the Taboo with Dr. Aimee Baron

182. Thirty Years Later: Grieving, Remembering, and Living After SIDS with Jami Nelson


Listen Later

"I've never done something like this before."

In this episode, I sit down with Jami Nelson, a mother, grandmother, and lifelong nurturer who has spent more than three decades living with the loss of her son, Dov Ber, who died of SIDS as an infant.

Speaking publicly for the first time, Jami opens up about what she remembers most about that time, how she survived the early days of grief when support was scarce, and how her relationship with loss has evolved over the years. She shares what it was like to raise four children while carrying the memory of one who wasn't there, and how that experience shaped the way she later supported others through their own heartbreak.

Together, we talk about:

  • The quiet ways grief lingers through everyday life and motherhood

  • The kind of help you keep going when your world has fallen apart

  • What parents newly navigating loss need to hear from someone who's lived it

  • How others can support someone who has had a loss

This episode speaks about the ache that never fully fades, and the strength of mothers who carry their children's memories in their hearts, always.

More about Jami Nelson:

I live in Boynton Beach Florida for the past 6 years after living in Cedarhurst, New York where I raised 4 children, ages 40, 37, 35 and 31. I was a teacher, labor and postpartum doula, lifeguard/swim teacher and administrative assistant. I love cooking, reading, being in the pool and spending time with my husband, children, grandchildren and good friends. Jami has been married to her husband Jonathan for 42 years.
