“October has been deemed Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. The statistics show that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. More than likely you or others in your parish have experienced a miscarriage. Mothers who suffer a miscarriage may experience depression, anxiety, illogical thoughts, and nightmares- sometimes for months or years. In the Orthodox Church, the church is often described as a spiritual hospital, or a hospital for the soul. It is in the Church that we find the true healing, by drawing near to Christ. I also love that in our Churches we pray frequently for those who have gone to their rest before us. Although we have the opportunity to pray for those who have lost children due to miscarriage, still birth and infant loss, having a designated time each year to publicly pray for and acknowledge these significant losses.”
