October 15th


Did you know that October 15 is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day? Many people aren't aware that this day has been designated a national day of remembrance for miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss.

In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, grieving parents light a candle at 7 p.m. in their respective time zones to create a wave of light around the world in memory of babies lost to pregnancy and infant loss.

In addition to October 15th being declared a remembrance day, October is also National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

So, light a candle, say a prayer, or send a card to someone you know who has lost a child and tell them you are thinking of them this month.

A parent never forgets the child they can no longer hold in their arms.
