Some grief is for a life you never got to live together.
Today, on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the grief that comes with losing not only a life, but sometimes the future you had already begun to imagine.
The dreams, the hopes, the little moments, and the memories you thought you would make.
But we also recognize that grief looks different for everyone.
Some grieve the memories they made. Others grieve the memories they never got to make. Some felt connected from the very beginning, while others experienced uncertainty, fear, numbness, or complicated emotions.
There is no right way to experience loss, and there is no timeline for grief.
You don’t have to have held your baby for your grief to matter. You don’t have to have felt a certain way for your loss to be significant.
Today, we hold space for the lives that were lost, the futures that were imagined, and the families who carry that grief.
Your experience matters. Your grief deserves space.
