by October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. For the month of October, Carly Marie, a fellow grieving parent, is hosting an online photo essay event entitled "Capture Your Grief" through her wonderful web site CarlyMarieProjectHeal.com.
"Capture Your Grief" is a 31-day photo challenge. Carly Marie has posted one topic for each day of the month of October and invites participants to share a photo and description that captures a bit of the journey as a grieving parent.

- and of utmost importance to me, to find yet another way to connect with this special child of mine and to set aside some intentional time just being her mom.
