Tomorrow is National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day

[preshi]

I know I have been affected by my 3 losses. I know others on the boards have been affected as well by their own tragic loss.

So please give out hugs tomorrow, grieve, and remember.

I am thinking of all of you who have lost. {{{hugs}}}

Thanks for posting this information. So many have been affected by this, but there is so little discussion about it. Even though I know lots of women have experienced it, I felt so lonely after my miscarriage because nobody was willing to talk about it.

I never knew there was such a day. Thank you for sharing that, Meagan. I agree with Gem that more people need to be willing to talk about it. I can't tell you how tired I am of people acting like I shouldn't be sad about my loss since I'm pregnant again. Like you can just replace one child with another.

Oh my. I would imagine that most people affected suffer through this every day.

I will say a prayer.

{{{HUGS}}} for all of you who have suffered a loss.

One of my sister's died as an infant, she was 3 months old. Her name was Anita. Although it's been almost 50 years I can still hear the pain in her voice when she talks about her. She was the 4th child and my mom had 7 more children after that, Kermit you are very right it doesn't make it hurt less.

Thank you for the reminder Preshi, I need to call my Mom tonight.

I didn't realize there was a special day for it either.

Every day is rememberance day for us.

Remembering my two babies tonight.

I have recently watched my DD with my DGD and grieved that I was not able to give live to another. For over 16 years, I have carried a some part of them in my heart. I watch them and wonder what it would have felt like to have carried them in my arms.

Bob, Bob, Bob. You just don't understand, do you? I have personally contributed money to NARAL and I too will mourn a pregnancy loss. Thank you so much for being narrow minded.

My deepest condolences to all those who have lost a child during pregnancy or infancy .

I too support NARAL.

ROE V. WADE.............1973

"The Supreme Court held that a woman's right to an abortion fell within the right to privacy (recognized in Griswold v. Connecticut) protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision gave a woman a right to abortion during the entirety of the pregnancy and defined different levels of state interest for regulating abortion in the second and third trimesters. As a result, the laws of 46 states were affected by the Court's ruling. "

In all the years it has been since I lost my baby (9 yrs.), I never knew such a day existed. Thanks for bringing this day of rememberance to our attention. {{{HUGS}}} to all who have suffered a loss like this.

We always remember our little angel

 

[Robinrs]

My angel flies in my avatar everyday and will forever be in my heart.

Thank you, Meagan. Yes, this is a sisterhood that many are a part of but would rather not be in...

Bob, out of respect for the women here who are grieving, political remarks and agenda are totally inappropriate. Take a moment and give some space to those who have suffered enough.

Remembering my baby who was stillborn on 10/18/01
I miss you each and every day Emily Mae.

Thank you for posting a post on this. There is a need for people to know that we miss our babies.

I attended a "Walk to REmember" in the Buffalo Area on Sunday.
It was a wonderful tribute to our babies.

I didn't know there was such a day, either. Although those of us who have lost babies don't need a special day to remember - we'll never forget. My Ashley (stillborn) would have been 14 this year on Nov. 2. Even though we've been blessed with 2 boys (now 10 and 12), I will always miss my little girl and wonder "what if".
