Awareness For PAIL / Yesterday's Thoughts
Thought for the evening. If sporting events can raise money for tragic events or breast cancer awareness, then why can't they raise money to help with pregnancy and infant loss? Perhaps help with monitoring once pregnant, especially in the case of complications related to pregnancy, and then have a system in place to help with the loss of a child. If sporting events and the local news even acknowledged this BIG thing that effects thousands of people, then who knows what would happen. Perhaps pregnancy and infant loss wouldn't be so taboo anymore.

Perhaps if PAIL were discussed more and the awareness was there then it wouldn't feel like it was something to talk about privately. Often times people grieve silently and are ashamed feeling they did something wrong, no one to talk to and feel like once they do speak out that there isn't any support out there for them. There is awareness about other causes and things that are seen in a negative light to bring light and hope to the cause, why not pregnancy and infant loss?
ReplyDeleteThe entire month of October could have been used to raise awareness about Pregnancy and Infant Loss but because it shares awareness with Breast Cancer Awareness the main focus is on causes like that. I feel awareness should be spread about PAIL more than it is.
