October is Infant Loss Awareness Month, and I wanted you to know that I am praying for all of you who have lost a child, whether it be through miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or beyond. If you would like, please post your baby's name (if you feel comfortable) and his/her birthday or EDD. I will pray for all of you and ask my own daughter in heaven to intercede for you. God Bless your families!

I have not lost a child (at least to my knowledge), but I know my friend would appreciate it if you would pray for her two babies, lost to miscarriage, named India and Faith.

I will certainly remember you in my prayers, Michele, as well as everyone here who has suffered the loss of a little one.

I, too, have not lost anyone, but will join you in the praying ... and thanks for this! I hadn't heard of this, but October is a fitting month.

Viviane - My daughter died on Oct 17, 2007, which is why it's easy for me to remember! I too think it's fitting, since it's also the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary. What an amazing gift our Mother is to those of us who grieve.

Nancy, I will pray for India and Faith and their family.

Adding my prayers.

Please remember my friend, who after three miscarriages lost their second son Elijah at 15 days old (born at 24 weeks). His birthday was August 15.

And another friend who has lost 3 through miscarriage in the past year and a half as she and her husband try to determine God's will for their family.

Thank you, Michele.

Maria - I am so sorry and will remember you on the 11th. :(

Booksnbabes - geez, I can't imagine what that must have been like for your friends.

Nique - Prayers for you as you remember your little ones. I often picture them in heaven, having a field day, rejoicing together. They really are all united in Christ, and it's comforting to know my daughter is among friends.

We lost our unborn baby in Feb. this year. We named it Baby Sam (for Samuel or Samuela) since we don't know if it was a boy or girl. Thank you for the prayers, and will will pray for all those who have lost their little ones as well!
