Facts/Stats on Pregnancy & Infant Loss

This section is a network of fact and statistic listings.  Please utilize our “types of loss” section for a much more comprehensive support. 

While searching for reasons for infant death may be part of your healing journey, it is not the entire journey and cannot prevent or undo the journey.  Please, we ask you most deeply, that if you seek answers, to have support with you as you do.  We do hope that if you are considering getting pregnant again, that infant death can be prevented.  But we cannot guarantee or endorse any one method for that to happen.  Finding inconclusive tests or finding medical reasons can bring you to a fresh level of grief, one that requires support.

— Kathryn Miller Ridiman

Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.

Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh.

— Robert Bolt

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

— H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The road to the sacred leads through the secular.

— Abraham Joshua Heschel
