For the Rapids City Times

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Each October, memorial services are held to remember the babies who die each year through pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and newborn death.  Attended by parents, families, friends, and health care professionals across the United States, these memorials symbolically unite those who have experienced a loss and those who care for them.

This year, our area’s In Our Hearts Forever Memorial will be Oct. 13, beginning at 10 a.m. in Aspirus Riverview Hospital’s Lower Level Conference Center, 410 Dewey Street, Wisconsin Rapids.

There will be a brief service to honor all of our babies, light refreshments, and an optional visit to the Aspirus Riverview Hospital memorial site at Forest Hill Cemetery in Wisconsin Rapids.
