Mother’s Stories to Honor Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

October 15th was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Project Reveal has published two beautiful stories of mothers telling their story of their infant/pregnancy loss.

Season Two of Project Reveal brought us "Losing a Child: Celebrating the young lives we have lost" (49 minutes)

We celebrate the spirit to try again in the face of painful odds and the power of presence in a dark time. There is a circle of women who have redeemed their own loss and pain by serving others with programs of comfort.
We celebrate the willingness and skill of those who serve these broken-hearted families — chaplains, nurses, bereavement experts and facilitators. There’s so much good, hope and… courage that has come out of all that unbearable pain.
In memory of:
Ethan Joseph Tarter, Madelynn Rose Hendricks, Ellison Kate Hendricks, Kimberly Freihaut, Ethan Knight, Logan Knight
Thank you: Kelsie Tarter, April Hendricks, John and Dani Knight and Sally Freihaut
