Today on International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we honour the memory of babies who are no longer with us.

For those who experience miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of a newborn, the emotional and physical effects of grief can be profound.

If you know someone who has experienced loss, help break the silence and the stigma, and let them know that you are thinking of them.

If you have experienced grief and loss or know someone who has, support is available.

Speak to your health professional or see the links in our comment below for more information.
