Pregancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day
October 15th is International Pregancy and Infant Loss Awareness day. Please take time to learn about how many people have felt this loss, and that they don’t “get over it”… ever. If you know someone who has lost a child, remind them that you are thinking of them, and their child. They need your love every day. My wish for everyone is that this is the way that they will gain awareness of infant and pregancy loss, rather than the way we have.
hi, my name is emma and this year i will be lighting a canlde on the 15th of October at 7 pm to support the infant and baby loss appeal as this year it would have been 6 years since i lost my first child. i think it is great that people are finally aknowledging that this is something that needs to be braught to light. this is the first year that i have heard of this campaigne and in a way i think that is really sad. i have gone 6 years not being able to talk to someone about it, although i have had my family, it is not something that you can just drop into a conversation and i have felt awkward bringing it up as those in my fami;y i would like to talk to have never gone through what i have. they have all carried their children through to birth and in my eyes they do not know what it is like to lose a child. the pain and heartache it brings. and to make it worse for me i was only 20 at the time. the father of the child did not want to know about how i was feeling as long as he didnt have the responsibilty of another child as he already had three.
i keep thinking what my child would look like now being nearly six years old. and i didnt even get to know what sex my child was.
i fully support this campaigne and i will be trying to get a ribbon if not make one myself for the day.
