Heartache & Loss: Remembering All Our Babies

The month of October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and on October 15 we recognize Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It’s a day of remembrance for any parent who has experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage, still birth, or loss of an infant - and it acts to remind our communities to offer support and love to families who've experienced this loss. 

Let us surround them - and each other - with messages of love and remembrance this month and always, because losing a child is something you never forget - rather you just to learn to live with as time goes on.
