In Melody's Name

Happy Friday!😀

Brandy here and it's time to raise some funds. We've been blessed to provide a handful of boxes to local families in the past year,but funds are running low. We have four families requesting boxes just in the last month. We will have a couple ways to help,so just keep watching this page.

One way you can help is by purchasing some tasty meals for your family from Easy Freezy Freezer Meals. Your purchase helps us to provide these support boxes to families grieving the loss of their siblings.

Great Article:

I have learned that being the father of a stillborn daughter breaks you, and shrouds an invisibility cloak around you so that nobody sees your pain.

Saw this thought it was a nice remembrance.

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan designated October as national Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month to bring light to an issue that affects so many people. Each year in the United States, approximately 1 million children die in utero or shortly after birth, making it 1 in 4 pregnancies that result in a loss.

Not only do we want to reach others who have had similar losses, but also we want to reach people who have been blessed and have no idea of the pain of losing a much-wanted pregnancy or child. We want them to understand that we have lost our unborn and our infant children, and we grieve on a daily basis. We want them to allow us this time to grieve and to remember. We would also like them to grieve with us ...

Here is a list of ways to participate in giving awareness and remembrance to our children. Contact your family and friends. Have them participate as well.

Ideas for all of the Month of October:
♡Tying pink or blue ribbons around trees in yards, neighborhoods, and parks.
♡Place signs and banners in your yard, neighborhoods, and parks.
♡Contact your local radio stations and television news stations to have them announce that October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
♡Write an article and submit it to your local newspapers.
♡Sponsor flowers in memory of your baby in a church service or hospital.
♡Have a t-shirt made that says I have an Angel, and have your child’s name put on it.

Ideas for October 15th:
♡Light candles and display them in your windows.
♡Contact local Radio and News stations and have them announce that it is October 15th, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
♡Drive with your headlights on. Also, ask that radio and news stations announce this as well.
♡Leave your porch lights on. Have radio and news stations announce this as well.
♡Release butterflies (Can be expensive, but is very beautiful, Use a search engine such as yahoo and type in butterfly release)
♡Release Doves (You can rent doves that are trained to fly back to the owner)
♡Sponsor a candle lighting ceremony in a park, church, or local hospital.

A beautiful way to honor your babies who left too soon.

I already feel the flood of emotion for the Hearts Release this October.
If you have experienced infant and pregnancy loss,
and would like to share the names of your beloved babies' names with me,
I will handwrite the names of your babies onto a teeny, degradable paper heart that later can grow into flowers.

--> PLEASE SHARE this in your groups and pages so that every family has the opportunity to be included.

❤️ Today is Stillbirth Remembrance Day

Today is a day to support grieving parents that have suffered from stillbirth and to honor the stillborn babies…that were still born.

It’s a tragedy that affects 26,000 babies just in the United States and 1.9 million world wide. It’s a tragedy that in a lot of cases could be avoided with proper medical care.

Every single day babies are being born still leaving grieving parents devastated, lost and disconnected. Every single day parents are leaving the hospital empty handed and heartbroken.

Today let’s honor all babies gone too soon and show some extra support for the grieving parents navigating a new reality with little to no resources.

❤️ Sending love and positive energy
