Thursday, 15th October is International Baby Loss Awareness Day. Across the world people whose lives have been touched by the loss of a baby during pregnancy or after birth, will be attending memorial services, balloon releases and candle lighting in remembrance of those children who never had the chance to grow up.

In Australia, the Australian Community of Child Photographers (ACOCP), a non-profit organisation that gives the gift of photographic memories to families who have lost a child, is urging people to recognise the many families that go through the tragic loss of a young child,  read more here

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance month and 15 October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

Please remember to light a candle at 7pm on the 15th to remember all the babies lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS and other causes. And please post here when you have lit your candle.

For more information visit Remembering Our Babies, Pregnancy Loss Support – Official Site of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Rememberance Day October 15th.

This is a special month and a special day for me…  having lost my girls… soon after birth…  after a hard and torrid time….  I am here to help support other mothers and families who have had the loss of a baby.

Its even more heartfelt right now, as our dear daughter is asking lost of questions almost daily about her sisters, why they live at the cemetery…. about her sisters being angels and why they are not here today to play with her.   It makes me miss the girls even more so than ever before… for me… but also the loss of Tiana not having her sisters… it is so hard.

please…

7 pm… light a candle for anyone you know who has lost a baby…. or to support those who have.. it need not be a formal thing… maybe a candle at dinner, whilst watching tv… its an acknowledgement that will touch the hearts of so many mothers around the world… many who have heavy hearts and empty arms.

Become a La Toriana fan on Facebook and Elizabeth will donate 20 cents to the Red Appeal for every person who signs up between now and 22 Feb 2009.Ok, then, let’s see how much money we can raise in the next two weeks – tell you friends and family, and let’s go for it! -

We all have been touched by the devastating news, and our own community here in Bendigo has lost over 58 homes, 1 life and many more injured and have burnt areas of their homes.  I cannot after seeing the devastation in our own town begin to fathom the towns in the Kinglake area.

The 2009 Victorian Bushfire Fund has been set upt to assist individuals and communities affected by devastating bushfires in Victoria.  If you are able to donate, please head on over to the Red Cross website and make a contribution no matter how small.

anything you can do will be greatly appreciated by all.  If everyone chips in… collectively we can do a lot.
