October 15 is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. A day when across blogs and facebook and twitter and support groups, friends and family are paying remembrance to the children who have changed their lives.
Some honor their losses through a balloon release, others lighting candles, others a trip to the cemetery, and others still with a simple picture and a prayer whispered to the wind. Some visit the place where ashes have been spread, some pay tribute in places where a tree has been planted– a living tribute to a child who is not.
One in four women have endured a miscarriage. which means it's still a pretty common occurrence.
Today is the day we remember. Today we recognize the pain, the love, the anguish that so many have felt so much. Today we raise awareness.
Today we remember our four little ones that we lost to early. We lit a candle and said a little prayer.
My heart goes out to anyone who has lost a child.
