I am 1 in 4




October 15th commemorates a common thread of grief that runs through the veins of struggling mothers and fathers to be. They lost a child, or two, or three. Maybe  more. Period.

Men and women are coping with such a profound loss, putting the heartache into words is hardly possible. Many families grieve in silence and never come to terms with their loss. 

Today I ask that you think of those people by understanding they haven’t quite reached that chapter in life that some of you so fortunately have. Be mindful of those who are silently suffering or who have suffered a tremendous loss. Light a candle for the ones they lost and be thankful for the ones you have.  

I am 1 in 4.
