Today, October 15th, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance day, for all those who have had a miscarriage, stillbirth, or who lost an infant due to illness or SIDS.
The loss of a pregnancy is the loss of a life, a unique individual with his or her own DNA and fingerprints. When parents mourn the loss of a pregnancy or an infant, they mourn not only the loss of the life but the loss of that individual's future and what could and should have been. Every single human life has value, and every single loss is felt deeply.
Please show you support by visiting this website, www.october15th.com, reading the information there, and, if you wish, join others in lighting a candle this evening at 7pm in honor of those who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth and other complications.
