Oct. 15 is Pregnancy/Infant Loss Day. As someone who has had several losses, this day is a bittersweet reminder that I am not alone.

I was lucky enough to find the support of others who have gone through heartbreak. They have been there when I've cried, felt lost, hopeless, along with a dozen other emotions.

Unfortunately, so many women still carry their sadness in silence because it is a subject that few are comfortable talking about.

I am open about my losses. It is not contagious and talking about them does not make me sad. I find comfort in knowing you care and hope that it will help others heal.

Let today be a day where we can remember our loved ones, share memories, and let others know that they existed, lived, and were loved.
