The pain of losing a loved one is unlike any other feeling you experience in life. It is raw, often robs joy, and can feel all-consuming at times. However, grief itself is not a bad thing; it is actually a complement to love. Because your love was so real and powerful, you grieve the loss of that person deeply. And when the dark moments come, think on the good times and remember that your grief is evidence of your great love. And love is worth it!

Pregnancy and infant loss is often swept under the rug and not given the respect and acknowledgement it deserves. That’s why we are thankful for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. May this day bring awareness and normalcy to the very real grief parents feel after the loss of a child so early in life.
