Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
I know lots of American voters have been pushing for the passage of H.R. 5979 - Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act. I wish them luck. Like so many things with baby loss, it is astounding that so many babies are lost and so little is said.
I will remember the broken hearts and shattered dreams of the broken. I will remember mother's and father's with empty arms. I will remember only children that aren't supposed to be. I will remember siblings who miss the other half of their family.
I will remember grandparents that longed to rock and sing to the next generation. The death of our children is the death of our future.
Memento Mori.
