OCTOBER IS PREGNANCY & INFANT LOSS AWARENESS MONTH

The death of their baby devastates tens of thousands of families across the United States each year. But the grief of these families and the value of their babies’ lives are rarely acknowledged. In 1988, US President Ronald Reagan declared October as a month to recognize the unique grief of bereaved parents to show support to the many families who have suffered such a tragic loss.

Promoting awareness of pregnancy and infant loss not only increases the likelihood that grieving families will receive understanding and support, but also results in improved education and prevention efforts, which may ultimately reduce the incidence of these tragedies.

If you have experienced loss and are looking for help with the grieving process, there is help. Contact Karim Counseling Services, PLLC today.
