Red Bird Ministries Seeks To Reframe Cultural Perspective on Life and Grief During Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

Non-Profit Organization Offers Uniquely Catholic Resources for Families of Child Loss

We are asked to hold SO MUCH after the death of our child, but one of the heaviest loads was feeling like I failed. We are hard-wired as parents, after our child is born, to make sure our child survives. It is our job. And when that doesn't happen, for whatever reason, we feel like we have failed. It doesn't matter if we recognize this feeling as irrational — we still feel that way. It is one of the most brutal parts of losing a child.

I imagine every parent has felt the anxiety of losing a child in a crowd, at a store, at the park, or elsewhere. I have had a few memories of such stressful moments.

Have you ever been so frustrated and mad with God, that praying seems impossible?
