Today is October 15th also know as miscarriage/infant loss awareness day. For a lot of people this is no big deal of a day. For others like me it’s a day to remember the babies we lost to miscarriage or infants that have passed away.
I personally have had 3 miscarriages. So for me today is one of the days I remember the babies I have lost that are now in Heaven. In all honesty even though today October 15th is the awareness day. It isn’t the day I remember my babies the most. Two of those three days would be the first week of September and the week of Christmas for me. Those are the two miscarriages I had that had due dates. Even though it’s been years since those miscarriages I still feel that stinging sadness. It’s no where near as bad is it use to be,but I remember. Even though I can talk about my miscarriages with people openly that doesn’t mean the pain isn’t there anymore. I think that kind of pain never completely goes away. For me it just doesn’t feel as bad now.
You may know somebody who has had a miscarriage. That person may not feel like talking about it. That’s okay. They don’t need to talk about it. May I make a suggest though. If you know someone who has had a miscarriage no matter how recent or years ago, Give them a hug. This just might be that one day that they can use that hug. No words just a simple hug.
