Today and every day, we remember:
All the babies born sleeping.
Those carried but never held.
Those held that could not be taken home.
Those taken home that could not stay.
We remember. Always. 💗💙

Earlier this month, the hospital was lit pink and blue to honor pregnancy and infant loss awareness month.

In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and Remembrance Day (October 15), I wrote a blog post about my experience of several pregnancy losses while experiencing infertility. More raw and personal than my typical blog posts, I hope that my personal story resonates with others who have lost a baby, especially those people also going through infertility, helps others to feel less alone, and helps the cause of building awareness of the complex experience that can come with losing a baby.

Written in honor of my babies gone too soon.

"In the midst of the grief, we have also worked to honor our children and maintain a relationship with them, for they still are a great gift to us.

We named each of our babies, have had Masses said for them, pray for them, try to bond with them as much as we can, and ask for their intercession daily.

As far as loved ones go, it is honestly relieving when they mention our children, use their names, or call them to mind, although there is less of that than at first.

Although it is mysterious and 'different' to have our children on the other side of eternity, we have great hope in their salvation and that we will reunite with them someday."

Incredibly thankful for the warm hospitality from the Diocese of Cleveland this past weekend! It was a pleasure and privilege to collaborate with you to bring comfort and compassion to families in NE Ohio facing the heartbreak of infertility and/or the loss of a baby or child! I was especially struck by the wonderful receptivity of the lay church ministers who came to my training to learn how to better accompany such families in their own ministries. Special thanks to Terri Yohman in the Marriage and Family Ministry Office and Michelle Nowak in the Lay Ecclesial Ministry Office for organizing my trip!
