PREGNANCY AND INFANT LOSS AWARENESS

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month.  This cause is near and dear to our hearts for obvious reasons.  We know it is not an easy topic of discussion but if we can make the journey of child loss easier for one family, it’s worth this page.

We found through our experience that “I’m Sorry” works as the best thing to say to someone who has suffered the loss of a child.  It’s hard to hear, “you’re young, you’ll have more”.  It is difficult to imagine unless you’ve gone through it, but you can and do make it to a better day.   

Precious Parents is a volunteer parent-led group that meets every third Tuesday at 7:30.  Parents and their support person(s) who have suffered the loss of a child up to the age of 3 months through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death are welcome.  For more information contact Nancy Ludwick, RNC at 330-543-8239 or nludwick@chmca.org
