October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month.
1 in 4.
We say it like it’s just a number.
But it’s not.
It’s a mother on the bathroom floor, begging her baby to stay.
It’s a father staring at a crib that will never be used.
It’s families who planned a future that disappeared in a single moment.
This kind of loss isn’t just about a pregnancy.
It’s about losing a child.
It’s about losing the sound of their cry, the feel of their tiny hand, the life you imagined from the second you saw those two pink lines.
And yet—your baby was never unloved.
They were never alone.
All they ever knew was you.
Your warmth. Your heartbeat. Your love.
So if you’re living this heartbreak, I hope you know you’re not alone.
I hope you know your grief is valid.
I hope you know your baby mattered.
This month we speak their names,
we hold space for their memories,
and we honor every single one of them.
