"... I began to think that maybe I wasn’t weak–maybe, just maybe, what I’d gone through was just that intense.
If that’s you, still reeling from the miscarriage of your child, and the whole world is telling you to move on, please remember that the world has no right to ask that of you. What you have been through is real, and it is big. Please get the mental health care you need, and understand that you are not weak — you are hurting because you’ve been through a pain that many people can’t even imagine."
Service of Remembrance will have music, poetry readings, and a potluck meal afterward. Your entire family and friends are welcome to attend this memorial celebration. If you wish to be included in the printed program, please RSVP or donate by September 6, 2019. handonline.org/SOR/
