Steve and Emma Watty, of South West Victoria, lost their baby girl Sylvie in her sleep at just 15 months old, to SIDS.

They embark on a raw and open conversation about the tragic death and the moments and weeks after.

Now, seven years on, Steve and Emma are living a sunshiny life in honour of their loved and remembered, 'Sylvie Sunshine'.

Both Steve and Emma are the epitome of strength and courage and their positivity and zest for life is nothing short of inspiring.

Steve and Emma discuss the important role the Red Nose Foundation played in the moments after Sylvie's death, along side the Police, The Ambulance Officers and The Royal Children's Hospital and the overwhelming amount of support they received from everyone- family, friends, schools, work, community members and more. 

Steve and Emma talk about normalising speaking about Sylvie with people after her passing.

Steve received a message from his boss at the Alfred Hospital 9am the following morning, 'Of course we are here for you, come back whenever you're ready, we are just letting you know, all your after hour shifts have been covered until Christmas', this was on September 9th. 

They discuss how camping, being in nature, sunsets, sunrise, the open fire, have all become rituals for them after the loss of Sylvie.
