Today, in the MA House and Senate, we passed a resolution to mark National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Loss like this affects far too many among us, often in silent grief. In the midst of the pain of loss however, are incredible human beings, working with amazing organizations who offer support and resources for families and individuals throughout the Commonwealth. Our resolution lifts up the voices of those who grieve, and honors the organizations that work every day to support them: AllPaths Family Building, Empty Arms Bereavement Support, Propa City Community Outreach, and others. I am eternally grateful to partner with my colleagues in the House that championed this resolution: Lindsay Sabadosa, State Representative, 1st Hampshire District, and Representative Christopher Worrell, as well as the 77 legislators that co-sponsored this measure and added their voice and support.
This session in the Senate, we passed legislation I filed to designate October 15th as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day here in Massachusetts to bring light to this form of loss, help remove the stigma of grief and help families feel supported through their journey.
To every person and family carrying this heartbreaking pain, I get it, and my heart is with you today and always.
