Is This Important Yet?

Did you know that more lives are lost every year to
miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal loss than 
all forms of cancer combined?

Over 500,000 families each year in the United States
suffer the loss of a child before the age of 1. 

{Is This Important, Yet?}

Billions of dollars are spent on research every year to find a cure for cancer.

There still isn't even a sure known cause for the astronomical rates of death in infants. 

{Is This Important, Yet?}

If we continue to ignore the loss of babies
and continue to turn a blind eye to the growing number of 
pregnancy and infant losses
because it makes us uncomfortable,
we will have no population to save. 

We all agree that a cure MUST be found
to treat those we love that are battling cancer. 

We all agree that thousands of lives are shattered every day
by news of a loved one with a new diagnosis. 

Cancer is a terrible thing that is taking this country by storm!

Can we all agree that we MUST find the cause behind
the loss of our children?

Can we all agree that thousands of lives are shattered EVERY DAY
by a pregnancy loss or infant death?

Pregnancy and Infant Loss is a terrible thing that is taking this country by storm!

The difference between the two?

Cancer brings people together and people fight for an answer. 

Pregnancy Loss and Infant Mortality makes people uncomfortable because nobody knows what to do. 

There are many organizations that are building up resources to
inform our nation about the fight for our babies. 

Still Project
is a documentary film campaign
that is working to break the silence surrounding
Pregnancy and Infant Loss.

Face of Loss, Faces of Hope
is an amazing community
of families and mothers who have
suffered the loss of a child
from many different causes.

The March of Dimes
is a wonderful educational and research
organization that reaches out to families
with premature and severely ill babies.


This month of awareness for Pregnancy and Infant Loss is not to make noise or 
to have people feel sorry for those that are journeying this path.

This month of awareness for Pregnancy and Infant Loss is to break the silence.
Mother's and Familiesneed to know that it is okay to speak about their babies without shame or guilt.
Mother's and Families need to know that people are fighting for answers along side them.
Mother's and Families need to know that 
{THEY ARE NOT ALONE}
