Baby Loss Awareness Month

Baby Loss Awareness Month
•
It is not just about the mothers and fathers whose children they have lost, and it is not just about the statistics of those who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, SADS or other means.
•
For the parents whose child never took their first breath, or for those who learned to fly before they could walk, or whose child died before their untimely death – they remember them Every. Single. Day. We don’t need an Awareness Month.
•
It is for those who have not experienced loss. It is to make others aware that these losses DO happen. Our children – because that’s what they are whether they were born or not – were precious to us. Every single positive pregnancy test, blood test, scan, birth and time spent with them made us parents whether we watched them grow or not.
•
This status is not only dedicated to those who have loved and lost, it is also for those who grieve for the child they were never given to love.
•
Yes there are statistics, of course there are in this very modern world. But whether you are 15 or 50 and have never experienced pregnancy, I feel for you. For the parents who have lost their angels, I feel for you too.
•
This month is dedicated to you. Every single man, woman and everyone in between who grieves for the child they had, will have and lose, and for those children who we’ll never have, we think of you this October.

Baby Loss Awareness Week 9th-15th October.

Most women have been through the sadness and grief of loss of a child be it through miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or sudden death in adults. No one should have to say goodbye to their child, whatever age they were.
Look into the eyes of a woman with a loss and you will see the sadness and grief. She might not talk about it, barely mention it, and in some cases, won’t recognise due date or date of death. But ask her how old her child would’ve been, she’ll know 💖
This isn’t just women; men also suffer. That was their child too. Their little princess, their little mini me.

I am more than the statistic, I give personality to it. I know that my baby is happy up there in God’s arms and in the company of my loved ones; I’ve been told and I trust the people that told me.

I am the 1 in 4 who grieves for a child in Heaven.

The angel in the book of life wrote down my baby’s birth. She closed the book and whispered “too beautiful for Earth”.
