Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. October has been designated as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. I didn’t know about any of this last year. I’m not sure why. Perhaps I wasn’t as connected to some of the wonderful communities for bereaved parents as I am now. Regardless, I am thankful for this.
I’m still learning about the history of this special day and month. Below I’ve listed a handful of links that provide more information on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day and Awareness Month.
Hopefully you can pause for a moment today to remember all of the littles ones who left this world way too soon.
I love you, Noah.
