Honouring Our Babies In Heaven
Sunday October 15th, 2017 at 6:30pm-8:30pm
October 15th is known internationally as the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
This year I would like to invite you to light a candle with me and others who have also walked a similar path. May it be the loss of a pregnancy due to miscarriage or still birth, a loss of an infant during or shortly after birth, or the loss of a young child, you are welcome to join me in honouring and remembering our wee ones in heaven.
My name is Krista. I too have experienced loss. I have had to say good-bye too soon to two son's. One as a stillborn and one through miscarriage. I can identify with your pain and grief. From my challenges and journey, I have found there is a strong need for support and care in our community. From that I have trained to become a bereavement doula and grief support worker.
I am here for you.
Please come and share your story and help support one another as we, the mother's and father's and loved ones who have experienced loss, honour and remember our sweet babies in heaven.
To RSVP, please email me or visit my facebook event post at Honouring Our Babies In Heaven
If you know someone who may need support during this time, you are welcome to share this event or contact me.
Thank you.
