October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Read this new post for some thoughts for bereaved parents.

It’s October 15 and International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It’s an important time to acknowledge our grief, honor our baby that died, and choose hope amidst our storm.

My son Zachary passed away nine years ago. My husband and I reflected that it still feels like yesterday. I remember the details of our loss so vividly. I probably always will.

What surprised me when we celebrated…

Truly, we don’t need another awareness month. For anyone pregnant again after loss, it is a daily journey – and one that lasts for nine long months. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the heightened recognition for the joys and fears of loss moms and dads who continue to grow their family. I have been there. It is not easy. For me, those pregnancies were some of the most challenging times of my life.

Time to Celebrate & Time to Grow. Expecting Sunshine is on the move! Learn where it is headed next.
