As Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day is beginning in the earliest time zones, here at Gathering Hope, we honor their memory and celebrate their lives, no matter how brief. October 15 is an international day set aside to remember the children we hold in our hearts instead of our arms.

This tribute post honors more than 1,400 babies from six continents, 48 U. S. states and 26 countries. Though we are separated by oceans and time zones, today we are united across the globe, by the love we share for our children. Each name in this tribute represents a precious baby who is deeply cherished, loved and remembered.

We’ve been simultaneously overwhelmed by the volume of responses and inspired by the trust of being allowed to hold space for so many bereaved families. The sheer number of names submitted, the worldwide reach, and the speed at which they came in reminded us of something profound: the statistics we so often share aren’t just numbers…they’re people. Today and always, we stand with you, together.

You’ll find a special note on the final page of this tribute, a reminder that we’ve also included all babies in Heaven, named and unnamed, forever loved and remembered. Regardless of whether you’ve chosen a name for your baby, their life is worthy of remembrance. 💜

One last thing: if you didn’t send in your baby’s name in time to be included in the post, please feel free to add their name or a special date in the comments so we can remember them with you!

With Love & Hope,
The Gathering Hope Team

When we asked people to help read names for our upcoming virtual Wave of Light service, we already knew there was something incredibly meaningful about experiencing this event together.

Now that the recording is complete, we’ve watched our volunteer readers discover that for themselves.

Many came to the Gathering Hope office expecting to read their portion of a list of names. But once they finished, each one of them told us they felt the weight of what they were doing. Because there is something about hearing a name spoken.

Think about the names of the people you love. We say them without even thinking about it. We call their names from another room. We mention them in conversation. We see them in the pinned text threads in our phone. We write their names on cards, invitations, calendars, and a hundred ordinary pieces of life.

But when your baby dies, you may go months or even years without hearing someone else say their name.

During the Wave of Light, we say them. One by one, 1,000 names will be spoken aloud. And behind every name is a baby who is deeply loved and missed, and a family who trusted us to remember. Our readers felt the significance of that as they recorded the ceremony.

We hope you’ll make room for this. 💜

I’d never seen a single post about Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month before October 2014. I’d written several of my own personal posts about grief and the many complexities of bereaved motherhood, but I had yet to discover that there was a bigger connection to be made to the outside world.

Before the loss of my son, I knew of a few loss moms here and there (a phrase yet to be coined back then), but very few of them were intimately close to me…or so I thought. I certainly didn’t know that there was an entire month of awareness associated with baby loss. But once I did, I wasn’t quite sure how that landed with me. Awareness months always seemed like something that applied to other people…not me.

I didn’t know that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage.

I didn’t know that 21,000 babies die from stillbirth in the United States every single year.

I didn’t know that 44 miscarriages occur every minute, worldwide.

I didn’t know that baby loss can trigger PTSD in up to 60% of loss moms.

I didn’t know that there are physiological and psychological comorbidities like cancer, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, suicidality, mental health disorders, eating disorders, dissolution of relationships and substance abuse that can result in multiple complications for bereaved families.

I didn’t know that just because it’s common, doesn’t mean it’s any less traumatic or painful.

I didn’t know these statistics until I was one.

I didn’t know it happened to our mothers, our grandmothers, our sisters, friends, neighbors, teachers, our employers and employees, our mail carriers and baristas, our lawyers and doctors, stay-at-home moms, married or unmarried, thin or plus size, in our teens, 20s, 30s and 40s…I didn’t know it can happen to any pregnant mom.

I didn’t know because of the deafening silence. I didn’t know because there’s *still* a stigma surrounding baby loss.

Did you?

It doesn’t need to be this way and no bereaved parent needs to walk alone. Things are changing, the narrative is shifting, but there’s is still work to do. Not just in October, but every day.

You can start by telling a bereaved parent that you care about them…today. 💜
