October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time set aside to honor and remember the babies who left us too soon and the families whose hearts carry both love and grief. For many, this month brings quiet reflection, tender memories, and a reminder that even the briefest lives have lasting impact.

Awareness begins with compassion. It means saying their babies’ names, listening without judgment, and making space for grief that doesn’t follow a timeline. Lighting a candle, wearing pink and blue, or simply offering a word of kindness can make a world of difference.

Pregnancy and infant loss affects more families than many realize. Behind the statistics are parents who dreamed of holding their baby, who prepared a nursery, who whispered prayers and hopes into the future—only to face unimaginable heartbreak. Their loss is real, and their love endures.

If you have experienced loss, know that you are not alone. Your story matters. Your baby matters. And your courage to keep loving, remembering, and healing is a powerful testament to the depth of a parent’s heart.

We have helpful resources that offer support. We also have created a remembrance ceremony called “The Hannah Service”. Click the button below to access this resource.

Join us and thousands of others on October 15 at 7:00 PM central time to light a candle in memory of the babies who have been lost and place it in a visible area. If you are unable to light a candle, please say a prayer during this time.
