In 1988, President, Ronald Regan proclaimed October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. In 1996 alone, approximately 983,000 babies died from miscarriage or stillbirth. It's something few people discuss 
openly. People quietly whisper behind the backs of family and friends who experience such losses as though ignoring it will make it untrue. Some bereaved parents don't wish to talk about it but a great many do if just given the chance. Parents who have lost an infant at any stage of life grieve. The loss of a baby, no matter how small, is tragic. I believe each life is important and that is why I am an advocate of bringing awareness in whatever way that I can.
If you know of a family member or friend who has survived the loss of a baby, send them a little note letting them know you are thinking about them this month. Tell them you learned that this is the month for awareness and wanted to let them know you care.
We have a website, A Treasure in Heaven (ATiH), where you can find information on what parents like myself go through after the loss of a child. If you find that you are now in the category of the bereaved parent, there is wonderful information for you there as well. My heart breaks over every story I hear about infant loss. The road of grief is a terrible one to travel. May God wrap His strong arms around you who grieve and comfort you in a way that only He can.
