is a day to promote support, education and awareness for those who are suffering or may know someone who has suffered a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, a still birth, or the loss of an infant.
Today I lit a candle in our home to honor the baby we lost to miscarriage last year. While if we had not lost that baby, we would not have Avery, that doesn't mean we didn't and don't love that baby too.
I hate that miscarriage is such a taboo subject. It deserves recognition so that women going through it don't feel alone. It's a sad fact that 1 in 4 are touched by pregnancy or infant loss.
Aside from Avery the one other bright spot that has come out of this journey has been the amazing friends I have found who have and are going through the same thing.
