October 15 - Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day



We were an hour late, but still lit our candles to remember and honor our babies that were too beautiful for this earth. As crazy as our lives are with an infant, we still often think about our first babies.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is a day of remembrance for all pregnancies and infant death which includes but not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or the death of a newborn. It is recognized in the United States and throughout Canada on October 15th of each year.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is observed with Remembrance Ceremonies and candle lighting Vigils which coincides with an International Wave of Light with participants lighting candles on October 15 at 7:00 p.m. around the world to honor and remember our children.
