In Our Hearts Forever infant loss memorial service is Oct. 12

For the Rapids City Times

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and each October memorial services are held to remember the babies who die through pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and newborn death.

This year, the Wisconsin Rapids area “In Our Hearts Forever Memorial” will be held Oct. 12, at 10 am, 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. Flowers and mementos are welcome at the memorial site.

The service provides an opportunity for families who have experienced a loss to heal and bond with other families. Anyone who has experienced a pregnancy or infant loss is invited to attend, regardless of when your loss occurred. Family members, friends and children are also welcome.
