FORT HOOD, Texas – Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center will host the third annual Walk to Remember at 3:30 p.m., Oct. 16, at the Fort Hood Spiritual Resiliency Center.
Walk to Remember is a special event to connect parents and families together to express grief and remember our babies and to raise awareness.
October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Each year, memorial ceremonies are held across the nation to bring awareness to the difficult issues of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth and neonatal death.
“While we cannot take away the pain of loss, we can all help to ease the pain by providing a day to remember their child, grandchild, niece, nephew or dear friend’s child,” Russell said.
“While walk participants share a common grief, the Walk to Remember” is not a sad event.
“Together we celebrate and remember our babies in a gentle, joyous environment,” Russell said.
This year’s event will feature a memorial ceremony, “remember when” card commemoration, group walk, sweet treats and wonderful friends.
