While I know many will be supporting Breast Cancer Awareness this month, please remember that October is also Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. So many mothers and families have suffered the loss of their child. I am one of them, so this is very important to me.
In 1988 October was declared Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month in the United States with a Presidential Proclamation from Ronald Reagan. This month is dedicated throughout the world to raising awareness of infant and pregnancy loss and to honoring and remembering babies and infants who died due to miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, SIDS and all infant deaths.
The growing energy to join in the global "Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month" can help us all in our efforts to make a difference for families who have had babies die and to do our best to reduce the risk and the numbers of these bereaved families over time.
