Education

As this is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, it is important for us to take the opportunity to educate others as we grieve. Speaking for myself, it was very painful to me that others did not understand the depth of our loss and grief. Since no one really talks about the loss of a baby, whether during pregnancy or after birth, grieving parents are alienated and have to hide their grief away. Without education, those who have not experienced the loss first hand do not know to or know how to support those who have experienced this most heartbreaking loss. It is our right as bereaved parents to speak openly about our loss. We should not hide our grief away. Our children were loved, and wanted and are sorely missed everyday of our lives.
