"Whereas each year, approximately one million pregnancies in the United States end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn baby; Whereas it is a great tragedy to lose the life of a child; Whereas babies sometimes live within or outside their mothers’ wombs for only a short period of time; Whereas even the shortest lives are still valuable, and the grief of those who mourn the loss of these lives should not be trivialized; Whereas Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day would enable the people of the United States to consider how, as individuals and communities, they can meet the needs of bereaved mothers, fathers, and family members,and work to prevent the causes of these deaths."
