Honouring Little Lives: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day

Nothing prepares you for the loss of a baby. And no matter what brought you here, I’m deeply sorry. My heart aches with you. On this International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the tiny lives that left us far too soon and to stand with those who carry this unimaginable grief.

If you’ve lost a baby, the weight of this loss is something that can feel impossible to share with others. It’s important to remember that you are not alone. There is a community that understands your pain and a place where your grief, no matter how raw or distant, can be acknowledged. The Morning is a wonderful resource offering support, hope, and a compassionate space for women who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. Since 2017, it has provided a safe haven for thousands of women, ensuring that their babies are more than a memory—they are loved, remembered, and cherished.

The Morning is not only a resource for those experiencing the loss, but also for the people who love and support them. It offers guidance on how to stand beside someone in their grief, with compassion and understanding. This journey can be isolating, but there is comfort in connecting with others who have walked a similar path. You can also find encouragement by following @thejoyfulmorning on Instagram, where stories, reflections, and moments of hope are shared by a community that truly understands.

If today feels heavy, take a moment to honour your grief and your love. You may find comfort in this reminder:
"Your little one lived a perfect life. We're the only ones who knew it was brief. All they knew was you and that you loved them."

Your baby knew only your love, and that love remains forever.
