October 15

Today, October 15, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.  Today's Capture Your Grief projects correlates with the Wave of Light.

Day 15. WAVE of LIGHT Today is October 15th Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Light a candle at 7pm to help create a continuous wave of light around the world for 24 hours. Photograph your light!

I lit my candles for my boys and then for five other friends:
Grace for my Aunt Nancy
Emma for my friend Amy B.
Wyatt for my friend Amanda G.
Carter for Jana (at Keeping Up with the Kimmels)
The two unnamed are for Lucie & Zachary for my friend Michelle B.

 I have so much more to talk about but I feel like this post deserves its own post and own day.  For today, let's remember our babies and this quote from President Reagan: "When a child loses a parent they are called an orphan.  When a spouse loses his or her partner they are called a widow or widower.  When a parent loses their child , there isn't a word to describe them.  This month recognizes the loss so many parents experience across the United States and throughout the World.  This is also meant to inform and provide resources for parents who have lost children due to miscarriage, etopic pregnancies, molor pregnancy, stillbirth, birth defects, SIDS and other causes."

And all the pictures of candles lit by our friends.  Thank you all so very much!
