Healing Hearts Memory Walk



Each year 1 million babies die during pregnancy, at or shortly after birth, very often from unexplained causes. In 1988 former President Ronald Reagan declared October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

This was the 2nd Healing Hearts Memory Walk. Last year, Nathan and I released 3 white balloons to symbolize my angel babies and this year I released 3 green balloons.

This year they passed out lapel pins to everyone. Which is......The LLOST’s Grieving: Handle with Care Campaign was created to support families and friends who have lost a loved one, as well as the people surrounding those who are grieving.

Thank you Ashley, Kristen, Linda, Steffany and my station for coming out and supporting me on this on a subject that no one talks about.
