October is not only a month of falling leaves and pumpkin spice, but also a time to acknowledge and honor the strength and resilience of those who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. This October 1 marks the start of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time for families and communities to come together in support and remembrance. This month has been observed since 1988 when President Ronald Reagan designated it as such. It serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about this often stigmatized topic and provide support for those who have suffered such a heartbreaking loss. Let's use this month to shine light on these brave individuals and spread love and understanding.
On October 15th, light a candle at 7pm in your local time zone to honor and remember all the babies who have passed away too soon. This is a powerful way to show your support and raise awareness for pregnancy and infant loss.
