October 15, 2016 is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Let us take a moment to acknowledge the babies we have lost. Light a candle in memory of your child or children and sit quietly. Think of them with love. Know that their spirit is with you and that one day, you will be together again.
There are so many causes as to why we have each lost a child, but this tragic event has the power to bring strangers together to help them through the grieving process.
If you know someone who has lost a baby, reach out to them. Not only immediately after their child dies, or on National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, but weeks, months and years down the road. Often, people shy away from bereaved parents. Make an effort to show your support to those who really need it.
Tips and strategies to help you heal from the shock and desperation from losing someone you love. Also included are true stories from others who have walked the journey of grief, and how they have overcome the raw emotions that accompany the death of a loved one
