Remembering...
Today, October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Too often, those of us who said goodbye to precious little ones this early in life are forced to grieve in silence. Long after the initial loss, the pain is still there, but it is far enough away in other peoples minds, that they have forgotten. It's not that they don't care, but when you haven't borne something like this yourself, it's easy to put it aside and move on to other things. Mothers don't forget. We still feel the pain of loss years later. I am grateful someone realized this and established this official day of remembrance. It helps to not feel so alone. Memories are easier to carry when you don't carry them alone.
My husband and I have been blessed with six children, four of whom we knew only briefly en-utero. They are waiting to welcome us home to heaven someday. They were not with us long enough to know their gender, so we don't have names for them, but they are precious to us nonetheless.
Remembered with love:
