October Baby Loss Events

Baby loss events can be immensely comforting for those who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and other kinds of pregnancy and infant losses. I remember attending my first event, the Walk to Remember, when I was still pregnant with Zachary, only two weeks before he died. I knew Zach would pass and attending the walk was hard, but it did give me a glimpse of what was to come. When I say that, what I mean is I got a preview of the supportive community of families who have also walked this journey. On what may feel like a lonely experience of grief, truly there are many others out there who can offer compassionate support.  No one should walk this journey alone.

Now, almost seven years after Zachary’s death, I find baby loss events a wonderful chance to slow down from life’s busy pace and to remember my son. My grief is no longer raw, but I do still cry at these types of events. I know they are safe places. I know that I am surrounded by others who understand the pain I have carried. I am thankful for the tireless individuals that make these events possible.

Below is a list of events that I am a part of. There are so many celebrations that take place around the world. If you are reading this, please feel free to comment below with details about an event you wish to share. I’m sure others would love to know more about it.
