October Is
National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month
When a child loses his parents, he is called an orphan. When a spouse loses
her or his partner, he is 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/partial molar pregnancy, stillbirths,
birth defects, SIDS, and other unknown causes.
If you have a friend or family member who has experienced pregnancy or
infant loss-let them know you remember them this month...send a note or you
can send a special "In Memory of your Loss..." card at:

Touch a life & make someone's day-remember a small pebble may not seem like
much-but thrown in the ocean-the ripples can reach much farther than you will
ever see.....
