| Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day Oct 15th I just wanted to post this information for anyone else here has experienced a loss like this. I've posted about this before, but I lost my daughter, Theresa, when I was 6 months pregnant. My due date was today so it has been a very difficult day for me. October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day and it’s a day that allows us to mourn and celebrate and acknowledge the brief time that some infants have spent with their mothers or parents. It has been created as a remembrance day to promote support, education and awareness for grieving parents. This day has even been recognized by congress. Each year over one million pregnancies are lost to miscarriage and stillbirth. Remembering Our Babies, Pregnancy Loss Support - Official Site of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Rememberance Day October 15th So please take a moment on that day to remember our precious angel babies. Does Anyone Know? Does anyone know what today should be? Anyone else or is it only me? Does anyone know how great today would have been, If you would have come now, instead of then. It seems people forget; to them it is just another day. But for me, I just can't think of it that way. My heart aches and I can't stop the tears. I keep on wishing that you were still here. Others just don't understand why, today, I mourn. Today is a special day; the day you should have been born.

| I am so sorry for your loss. Big Hugs. When my husband and I first got married almost 5 years ago I miscarried after 3 1/2 months. It was very difficult time and resulted in a few surgeries. it was a very hard 1st year of marriage. It was so tramatic that we haven't attempted again. I do feel your pain. Thank you for posting this. |

| I'm sorry for your loss. I haven't experienced this kind of loss myself but my sisters daughter Ella-Louise was stillborn a couple of years ago and it was heartbreaking. We're all grateful that she was recently blessed with a healthy daughter, Madison-May. I think its a wonderful idea to have a day of remembrance for these little souls and their parents xx xx

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am so sorry for your loss of your precious baby.It has to be a very difficult time for you, That poem is very touching. I had 3 miscarrages before I had my dtr, But they were all very early 7-9 weeks. One I didn't even know I was pregnant until I started bleeding. We decided not to try again and bought a house with the money saved so I could stay home the forst year, and then 10 months later I got pregnant with my dtr now 23 years old.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting us all know. I have a sister, Erin Marie, who was stillborn when I was almost 3. I can't even imagine what my parents went through (and still go through).

| Heather - I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Theresa. My sister's first daughter, Ides, was born at 26 weeks and she lived for 13 days. She was so perfect and healthy until necrotizing bowel syndrome ended her very short life. It will be 23 years ago this November. I still can't imagine the pain my sister has endured all these years. Megan - I'm sorry you never got to know your little sister. But I bet Erin Marie has been an angel watching over you.

| I am just now seeing this and wanted to tell you that I am sorry for your loss. I lost our first baby a few minutes after her birth (I was 5 and a half months pregnant). It's not something that you ever even think about happening to you and it certainly does change you. I know for me, it put my life in such perspective. Feel free to email me anytime! Tammy |
