Yesterday...

Yesterday was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day


Each year, over half a million dreams are shattered. Out of 3.3 million babies born alive, some 30,000 die during the first 28 days. Another 39,000 babies are stillborn. Miscarriage occurs in fifteen to twenty percent of pregnancies, while ectopic pregnancy occurs in one percent. This day effects so many people.

Nearly everyone is touched in some way by miscarriage or pregnancy loss, whether it has happened to you or you know someone it has happened to... 

To those that have lost a little one or miscarried,  this day is to remember the lives that touched us briefly.
Life will forever be changed and today I will remember.
