Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, a time to honor the love and loss carried by so many families.

At MUSC Health, our palliative care and perinatal teams walk beside parents through unimaginable moments, offering compassion, comfort and space to grieve and remember.

As MUSC nurse practitioner and Distinguished Professor of Palliative Care Dr. Carrie Cormack shares, “Acknowledging this day acknowledges the loss and the love that many families carry for their child.”

Her advice for people whose loved ones or friends have suffered such a loss? “If you hear this news about someone, be present, acknowledge that loss, talk to them about it, don't be afraid to bring it up. It won’t remind them that they went through this. They haven’t forgotten.”

The MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital will hold a Pediatric Service of Remembrance on Oct. 18, at Charles Towne Landing’s Founders Hall, starting at 3 p.m.

Read more about disenfranchised grief:

As people mark Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, NP who helps families cope with loss said it's s a reminder that they’re not alone.
