October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. It is overshadowed by Breast Cancer Awareness Month but, in my view (as the mother of a stillborn son and the friend, niece and daughter of breast cancer survivors--and victims), no less important.
In honor of Awareness Month, I am going to blog every day about stillbirth issues. (Although I might throw in a Wordless Wednesday photograph if I need a break from the sound of my own voice.)
I would love for my readers who have been hiding out to de-lurk, say hello, and tell me why you're here. Tell me who it is you are missing.

I am a lurker, I guess. My daughter Lucia was stillborn in 2008 at 38 weeks of pregnancy. Posting everyday is a great idea. I might join you.
Hi Virginia.
I am going to join you as well. :)
Hi Angie - nice to meet you, though I am so sorry we had to meet this way. I'm sorry about your little girl and I'd love to have you join me in blogging every day this month.
Debbie - great! So glad you've decided to join in.
We actually are both in the collection, They Were Still Born.
Angie, I didn't make that connection - I'm glad to have you stopping by and look forward to reading your essay in the book.
