Please light a candle tonight at 7pm...
In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
Thank you
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is a day of remembrance for all pregnancies which end in miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of a newborn. It is recognized on October 15 of each year.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day was thought of by Robyn Bear. After having had six miscarriages with little to no support, she felt a day was needed for parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and the world to unite and remember these beloved babies. Knowing she couldn't do this alone, she shared her thoughts with Lisa Brown and they decided to do what they could to make this day happen. H.CON.RES.222, House Resolution #222 Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, October 15 of every year went to a vote in the House Of Representatives September 28th, 2006. The United States Congress now recognizes October 15 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is recognized throughout the United States and Canada with Remembrance Ceremonies and candle lighting Vigils which coincides with an International Wave of Light with participants lighting candles at 7:00 p.m. around the world to honor and remember our children.
Through the lobbying efforts of Terra-Lynn Coggan, a Saint John resident with the assistance of Saint John-Champlain MLA Roly MacIntyre, New Brunswick Minister of Health and Wellness, Hon. Elvy Robichaud did declare October 15 to be Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
"Miscarriage and infant death are a source of grief, often silent, for mothers, fathers, siblings and grandparents." [1] To recognize this loss, Hon. Elvy Robichaud, New Brunswick Minister of Health and Wellness declared October 15 to be Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, October 12, 2005.
He called on provincial residents to help promote "support, education and awareness for grieving parents who have lost infants during pregnancy or shortly after birth."[2]

Re: Please light a candle tonight at 7pm...
Forgive my repost from parenting, but this hits home and is extremely near and dear to my heart:
This is a candle that represents the many losses that have occured in the lives of myself (through miscarriage), my mother (who lost my brother at 10 weeks from major health complications of Down Syndrome), my sister (who suffered multiple miscarriages), my cousins, my aunts, my dear friends and anyone else who has experienced the pain of losing a child. There are no words that can ever be comforting enough. May all of the angels know peace and comfort.
