Pregnancy & Infant Loss Resources
Thankfully, this week's Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day on October 15th has brought this seldom discussed topic to the forefront on websites, podcasts, and in the news. Now if only the 1 in 5 of us who have experienced this trauma could speak openly and regularly about the issue. If only we could honor and remember our babies not just in October, but whenever grief hits us like a wave. If only our friends and family members knew that we all mourn differently and that many of us long to hear our child's name spoken out loud.
Until that day, these links serve as a reminder that we can find strength, courage, and hope in the knowledge that we are not alone.
