This little light of mine...

...I'm going to let it shine in memory of Thomas, his four wee sibilings, 

and all their friends now playing together in God's garden.

 With love forever, and ever, and ever.

 Until we meet again. ox

Help make October 15th Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day in Ontario!

The Perinatal Bereavement Society of Ontario (PBSO) is working towards having October 15th officially recognized as Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day in Ontario. If you or someone you know has been touched by perinatal loss, please consider contacting your MPP and asking him/her to support this effort. It would mean a lot to bereaved parents in Ontario to have an official day during which to remember and honour our little souls.

The hope is that promoting awareness of pregnancy and infant loss will also increase the likelihood that bereaved parents will receive greater understanding and support from family, friends, co-workers, and health care providers as they face the challenges of this very complicated, life-altering and lifelong grief. 

I've included a link to the PBSO website where you'll find sample letters (for bereaved parents or supporters) with all the information you'll need, including how to find and contact your MPP.

Please consider helping out by writing to your MPP. 

Please?

October 15th

This morning I received an e-mail from a member of a local bereaved parents Ministry team indicating that she is very interested in speaking after our Mass of Remembrance in November.

What a fitting day to hear such good news.

And, if that wasn't enough, the angels sent an absolutely breathtaking sunrise this morning. It had to be them. Truly, it did.
