In the beginning
This is the beginning of a beautiful thing. I am hoping that in starting this walk to remember, we can raise awareness of the severity in the statistics of Stillbirth all over the world. The numbers of this occurring in America alone are devastating, as 71 babies a day fail to join us in this world due to stillbirth. That makes 142 parents a DAY put on these shoes I wear for the rest of my life. To me that is FAR TOO MANY! As we also find that 80% of those births have NO medical reason behind what happened. Which leaves those parents feeling confused and alone in a world of consuming grief. I want to change that, all of it. To find answers and ways to avoid this from occurring to help parents on this road feel comforted and fill them with hope that their child will never be forgotten.
A fellow angel mommy and I had lunch yesterday and we came up with the idea to have a walk to remember and celebrate our children as little of a life as they had they made a footprint on our hearts that last a lifetime. We also want to raise awareness and support other families enduring the pain of loosing a child due to issues such as Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Infant Death.
As little, if any, time they were here with us on this Earth, the impact of their life with us is forever lasting. We will forever have a child missing from each family photo, from each bedtime routine of kissing and tucking in, from each head count in the morning and member at the dinner table at night. We walk, because they never had the chance to.
