In October 2021, the ACDA created an audio project for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Projects in prior years have included collages of our babies, a photo project of bereaved parents, a memorial wall, luminaries, calligraphy and a written word project about grief over time.

This year we wanted to hear your child’s name. Please listen above. The purpose of this project was to compile a seamless audio file of names recorded by our ACDA families; we know saying and hearing your child’s name spoken aloud is often a welcome expression of love. It is our hope that hearing your loved one’s name along with the names of other children affected by ACDMPV will provide a sense of comfort and community within our ACDA families. A suggested idea is to listen to the audio recording while lighting your candle on October 15 during the ACDA Wave of Light.

We encourage you to take a moment to listen to the recording and reflect on the lives of these precious children and the heartbreaking loss endured by their respective families, friends and loved ones.
