Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day
/October 15th.
It might sound like a random ol' date but it's a special one to me and my family. It's Preganncy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day.
It may sound silly to have just 1 day to remember the babies that are in heaven. God knows the pain goes far beyond a single day.
In fact, I use to get angry that this day even existed. I use to feel like this day was a slap in the face, a reminder of what could have been and of what was lost.
Since I've started blogging, and as this day approached, I've come to the conclusion this day is a necessity for so many reasons, but mostly because having a specific day of rememberence helps bring awareness to a topic that happens frequently, to 1 in 4 women to be exact.
I continue to be amazed at how taboo this subject is in our society. My hope is that this year, we break the silence.
