This weeks marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, on October 15th. Twenty five percent of pregnancies do not go full-term. We feel the loss of our babies, whether it’s marked on the calendar or not, but often it can feel as if you’re the only one remembering.
Those little lives, however brief, made an impact. The people who know you, know a different you than who you might have been because of what you’ve been through. Those babies mattered and they made a mark on your heart and your life. We’d like to help you visually mark those little lives. If you’d like to add your baby to the wall we are launching on our site, we would be honored to remember them with you.

Questions like, “How many children do you have?” Or when someone comments about how perfectly spaced your children are, do you say something about the child who is missing? These are some questions you might be struggling with on a daily basis.
There is a club, if you will, of women. These women have a special, silent, bond. They won’t assume that they understand exactly what each other is going through, but they still “get it” – the complicated mess of feelings and experiences that follow miscarriage or infant loss.

On the wall, you’ll find the names and birthdates/due dates of the lives that we will always remember; whether lost during pregnancy or shortly after birth.
If you would like to add your baby to our Forever Loved Wall, please use the form below. We will make every effort to get submissions listed to the wall within 24 hours. These names will stay on our site indefinitely.
