October 15th

Today, October 15th, is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day.

I know that so many of you reading this have experienced a miscarriage. One in four women will experience a miscarriage in their lifetime. I know a lot of those “Ones”.

You may be experiencing a recent loss that currently has you walking knee-deep in grief. Or, like me, it could be something that happened in the past that will always have a mark on your heart.

Today, is the day to remember that no matter what stage your baby existed, your baby mattered.

So, today, I stand with all of you that have felt this horrific pain.

I am that one in four.

I am strong, I am brave, I have survived.

I will continue to raise awareness, and I will stand with those of you that have walked this road as well.

Praying for those of you that have strong emotions on this day. And, as always, please reach out to me if you need support. I would be so honored to hear your story, pray with you, and put you in touch with counselors and/or support groups!
