just a quick tidbit in case you didn't know. october is pregnancy and child loss awareness month. one in four (YES, ONE IN FOUR) women experience either a miscarriage, a stillbirth, or infant loss in her lifetime. these statistics are absolutely staggering and it's amazing to me that so many are unaware. ladies, i know that this can be considered a private matter, but you should not suffer alone or in silence! and while i whole-heartedly believe in celebrating life, sometimes we also need to take moments and remember losses. so this month is for you women out there who have lost a life... though little, yet mighty. p.s. shortly after posting this, i logged into facebook and what should pop up but i post i made a year ago thanking family and friends for being super supportive when i came out with my first pregnancy loss. i took a screen-shot because it couldn't be more appropriate for today, the first of october.
