March is Pregnancy After Loss Awareness Month
Pregnancy after loss is a journey filled with a mix of hope, fear, joy, and grief. It’s a path where the beauty of a rainbow baby doesn’t erase the memory of the storm that came before. Just as winter's storms give way to spring blooms, this month is about honoring the strength it takes to hold joy and sorrow simultaneously. March symbolizes the hope of new life emerging after the cold and darkness of winter. It's a perfect reminder of the courage and resilience of those who walk the path of pregnancy after loss, balancing the promise of the future with the weight of the past. Your support, understanding, and kindness can make a world of difference to families navigating this unique journey.
