It was only 3 months ago that the if word "miscarriage" or "stillbirth" appeared as a headline, it was almost unheard of. Today, there have been articles in Time, Forbes, The New York Times, etc... I feel like the last 4 years have been an uphill battle getting the word out in our community, now, it's almost like people can't stop talking about it!
Unfortunately, it takes people like Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, country singer, Randy Rogers, and football player Andrew Quarless, for people to actually pay attention. That being said, I can't thank these individuals enough for talking about this subject! We live in a world where everyone wants to believe that everything is sunshine and rainbows. If only life were that simple. My life has had tragedy. I've lost two pregnancies and a granddaughter born still. I have lost grandparents, but losing a baby is whole different story. You know, in a strange way, I'm pretty jealous of my grandparents, they have met my babies and I haven't. They have gotten to hold my babies, and I haven't.
God be with the angel mommies and daddies out there. Be thankful for the media attention as it allows so many to grieve, when they haven't been able to before!
