October is Awareness Month. To name a few, Domestic Violence, and Breast and Prostate Cancer are observed during the month of October.
In October 1988, President Ronald Reagan Proclaimed October as National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. “Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day” is October 15th.
“When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, their isn’t a word to describe them. This month recognizes the loss so many parents experience across the United States and around the world. It is also meant to inform and provide resources for parents who have lost children due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, stillbirths, birth defects, SIDS, and other causes.”
You are asked to join in a worldwide a candle lighting ceremony at 7pm on October 15th.
