I live in Massachusetts and was wondering if there was anything going on for Infant loss Remembrance Day on October 15???
Or anywhere in New England for that matter.

I took the day off work..but don't really have any plans except to light a candle for Anna...and to of course, visit her grave.

But, I would love to hear about a group gathering of any kind?

Thanks so much.

I don't know how close this is for you. The only other walk close to New England I know of is the one we are doing in halifax on the 18th. If you feel like a ferry ride and a long drive, you are welcome to stay with us! Hope you are able to find some peace on the 15th....Nikkiann xo

My wife and I do not live IN Mass, but if you don't mind me asking, We are holding a service in the Northern Kentucky,/Greater Cincinnati area. We put a post on here asking if we could get The name, DOB and a short message if you like of your child's name to include in a slide show during our service..

if you would like to have that during our service could you please post it on the other post of "National Pregnancy and Loss Prayer Service"..

IF you have already done so, sorry for the multiple ask, I have not had time to look through everyone's request yet

Thanks

I live in MA too and haven't been able to find anything, but would love to know if you hear of something. I also plan to light a candle for my son that burns for 24 hours. If I hear of anything, I will pass it along as well. Hugs, Michelle

Thank you everyone.
New Jersey is too far,..but I appreciate the address.
And I can certainly think about a big road trip!

Not sure where Halifax is...also New Jersey? Anyway,..i can't believe you offered me to stay with you. That is too kind.

In the meantime, I will submit my name to the other post (thank you Maizy's Dad).

And Michelle, if you don't mind me asking..where abouts in MA are you?

thank you.

I'm so sorry for all of us. I don't post on DS often...I cry a lot..and have trouble seeing my words. But, I love all the support and love that we have each other. Even though it's under the most tragic circumstances.
