"When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn’t a word to describe them."
- Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States October is recognized as National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month to both recognize the loss so many parents experience across the United States and around the world, and to inform and provide resources for parents who have lost children due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, stillbirths, birth defects, and other causes. October 15th is observed as Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PaIL) Awareness Day around the world. We remember our babies gone too soon! At exactly 7:00PM, on October 15th, people all around the world join together in the International Wave of Light, by lighting a candle and keeping it lit for one hour. Also tonight, the Peace Bridge, portions of Canalside Buffalo and Niagara Falls (between 10PM and 10:15PM) will be lit in Pink and Blue to honor our babies gone too soon.
