Honouring Little Lives Lost
Sadly, more families than one might realize have experienced the ache of losing a baby. In Alberta alone, 15,000 babies each year are taken by miscarriage, stillbirth, early infant death or SIDS.
Each of these babies changed lives and touched hearts. Each lives on inside a mother, a father, a sibling or a grandparent. And each left a profound emotional legacy that can be difficult for other people to understand if they haven't experienced baby loss themselves.
That's why we created Walk to Remember, an annual event that began in 2008. At the Walk, we gather to celebrate and honour the babies we carry in our hearts. We remember the joy they brought into our lives and the love they left there. We understand the sadness we feel for children lost decades ago, and grief of parents whose loss is more recent. And together, we raise funds for the Lois Hole Hospital for Women to help other bereaved families begin their healing journey.
