Today is Pregnancy an Infant Loss Awareness Day šÆļø
I am lighting this candle in honor of a beautiful baby boy that was born today, Noah.
I personally have never experienced a loss of a baby of my own, but I have the privilege to walk with families who have. Iāve held their hands, Iāve listened to their stories, Iāve cried with them, and have witnessed their love. š¤
My biggest take away is to say their name. Talk about them and allow for the families to talk to you about them. Listen to them and love them. Donāt allow for the loss to be uncomfortable to talk about it.
Their babies existed. They were loved. They mattered. And they always will.
Today, my heart is especially heavy as I honor sweet Noah and the family who will carry his memory with them forever. š¤
Noah, you are loved. You are remembered. And your name will be spoken.
Say their names. Remember their babies. Never be afraid to speak of the love that will always remain.
š¤: Lucy, Samuel, Zyaire, Noah
