Hugs and thoughts to everyone who shares in loss this month.
https://www.october15th.com/
"Too many families grieve in silence, sometimes never coming to terms with their loss. Our goal is to help others relate to our loss, know what to say, do or not say, not do and to help families live with their loss, not “get over” their loss.
In October 1988, President Ronald Reagan Proclaimed October as National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. “When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn’t a word to describe them. This month recognizes the loss so many parents experience across the United States and around the world. It is also meant to inform and provide resources for parents who have lost children due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, stillbirths, birth defects, SIDS, and other causes.”

sending love to all the loss moms out there
As always, remembering my little girl who died fullterm during labor..your mommy loves you sooooo much
i think it's important to talk about it. So many women feel bad, or awkward and grieve silently and sometimes with not enough support because it's so taboo.. there needs to be more conversations about loss IMO.. Too many women and families are affected and having these dialogues can help people know how their loved ones are feeling, or how to be there for them...
I found this link today and thought id share.. i like this idea a lot.
