Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Today, Friday, Oct. 15, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

"There is no greater tragedy in life than the loss of a child. Unfortunately, because our babies live only within our wombs or they live outside of the womb for a short period of time, an uneducated society often minimizes the importance of their short lives and, in turn, our grief is trivialized.” Clair Baca

Remember to light your candle from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. your time to participate in the International Wave of Light.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day allows us to both mourn and celebrate the short lives of our Angel Babies.” Clair Baca

Not only do we want to reach others who have had similar losses, but also we want to reach people who have been blessed and have no idea of the pain of losing a much-wanted pregnancy or child. We want them to understand that we have lost our unborn and our infant children, and we grieve on a daily basis. We want them to allow us this time to grieve and to remember. We would also like them to grieve with us, at least on this one particular day of the year.

For parents who have lost a baby, a place to record each moment of the pregnancy can be an important part of the healing process. In this special full-color book, families can document all the details of their time while expecting the baby. Pages with careful prompts allow parents to explore in detail the plans, hopes, and dreams for baby regardless of whether they were only a few weeks along, had a full-term stillbirth, or delivered a baby who lived only a few days or weeks. This lovely ring-bound book lies flat, includes sonogram pages that may be removed if parents do not have any, and also has a section for memorials and anniversaries.
