October 15th - Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
Lets not forget the little ones who were here for such a short time but left such a big mark. Many of you already know, we lost 2 babies through M/C and Danielle Elizabeth was born sleeping at 39 weeks and 5 days on april 16, 2001.
Here is some information from Wikipedia on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day:
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is a day of remembrance for all pregnancies and infant death which includes but not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or the death of a newborn. It is recognized in the United States and throughout Canada on October 15th of each year.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is observed with Remembrance Ceremonies and candle lighting Vigils which coincides with an International Wave of Light with participants lighting candles on October 15 at 7:00 p.m. around the world to honor and remember our children.

Wow I didn't know this.

What a terrible coincidence that this very day I will be attending a memorial service for a baby who was born stillborn a week ago.

:(

I didn't know that this day existed, either. I will be lighting a candle for the baby that I lost back in January- I was 7 weeks pregnant and had known about my pregnancy for a mere nine days. It still hurt like hell.
*HUGS* to all you mamas who are lighting candles with me today

My first baby was due December 15, 2008 but stopped growing when I was 9 weeks pregnant. Sending my love to all of the families who are grieving lost ones today.

I didn't know this day existed until after my daughter died when she was a couple days old. I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't need a specific day for people to avoid bringing up anything baby-related in front of me.

I lost my baby at 10 weeks. I lit my candle at 7. It was kind of a nice way to remember the baby, even though it was very sad. I'm glad they have this day though, to get people to talk about their losses. My heart goes out to all of you who have lost babies as well.

I slept all day... what a way to remember... I agree that I don't need a specific day to remember loosing Everett because I remember everyday but I do think the fact that a day of remembrance helps bring about awareness for something that people like to sweep under the rug is a great thing.
(((hugs))) to all who have to go through this. I don't think anyone should have to know this kind of pain.

I didn't know this day existed either. I will mark it down for next year though. I wrote a series on miscarriage and shared about losing Isaiah at the start of my second trimester.
My heart goes out to those who have experienced losing a child, born or unborn...
