An interesting article was recently posted on KSL titled Child's Death May Increase Chance of Mother's Fatality. Here is the link. The article brought to mind a question I've been hearing lately, now that some time has passed: Why is she still having such a hard time? This article and the comments posted shed some light and offer validation as to why I am still having a hard time.
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month, with October 15th being the day set aside nationally to honor all babies gone too soon. I have been looking forward to experiencing this month with the new meaning Tesslee has given October. I hope to bring awareness to these precious little ones, and to the depth and extent of grief that is attached to infant and pregnancy loss. It is greatly underestimated. It affects so much more, and is felt so much longer than many people realize.
