Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day 2021

“Even those that never fully blossom bring beauty into the world.” Unknown

On International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, on October 15, we acknowledge the families who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, infant death, and other infant loss.

In recognition of this meaningful day, we will plant a Crab Apple tree and place a plaque in our Children’s 3 Garden. The tree will produce white flowers in spring with a show of brilliant yellow, red and burgundy during autumn. We will also place colourful butterflies throughout our memorial areas for children, butterflies being the universal symbol of child loss. The butterflies will be in place from 14 to 25 October.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day also serves to promote greater awareness, remembrance, and support of the estimated one in four people and families whose lives are forever altered by the death of their children during pregnancy, at birth and in infancy.

Our Pregnancy and Infant Loss Tribute commemorates the lives of those who were with us for such a short time but will never be forgotten.

We will also be sending a pink and blue awareness ribbon to our families who have lost little loved ones who are memorialised at Centennial Park and who we care about every day.
