Instagram Memorial

Thank you for your interest in our Instagram Memorial where our SUDC family community can share their child’s story and raise awareness of SUDC.

You can follow the page by going to @SUDC_Memorial on Instagram.

What Is It?

Our Instagram Memorial page is a loving tribute in memory of children affected by sudden unexpected or unexplained death in childhood.

How does it work?

We collect the following items from you and create an instagram post.   

  • Your child’s story, which is best told by recalling early moments and milestones, personality traits, hobbies, favorite things, and other cherished memories that you’d like to share with others.
  • Photographs of your child

How do I provide my child’s story?

Fill out the form to get started. Looking for ideas? Visit the full Instagram Memorial page here for some wonderful examples.

If I have an SUDC Memorial Page, do I need to submit my child’s story here also?

If you would like their story and photos to be posted on our instagram memorial – yes. But rather than starting from scratch, you can take text and photos from your memorial website and send it to us.

If I don’t have an Instagram account can I still participate?

You can still participate if you don’t have an Instagram account. If you would like to create an instagram account, click here and follow the steps. 

If you have any questions, or need help, please email [email protected]. We thank you for helping us raise awareness of SUDC and sudden unexpected death in childhood.
