Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
Words can be difficult in times of loss, and especially so to a grieving parent after the loss of their baby.Over a million pregnancies end in miscarriages or stillbirths each year, according to the CDC.Despite our modern medicine and technology, one in four women will miscarry.
The death of a baby is one of the most painful things that can happen to a family. You may never really get over your baby’s death. But you can move through your grief to healing. You may have a lot of feelings as you grieve, and may feel angry, sad and confused. You and your partner may show your feelings differently.
Take care of yourself in your healing journey. Your body and your emotions need time to recover after pregnancy. Find special ways for you and your family to remember your baby.
