In October 2024, the ACDA created a digital quilt project for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, with each square representing a child affected by ACDMPV. Please explore each individual digital square in detail below.

This unique and collaborative effort invited families to create a digital square that represents their child affected by ACDMPV. The ACDA assembled each personalized square into a larger “digital quilt”. This combined quilt not only allows families to share their special memories but also to connect with and honor the collective experiences of other families affected by ACDMPV. Thank you for participating and creating a beautiful tapestry of remembrance together. A suggested idea is to view the individual quilt squares while lighting your candle on October 15 during the ACDA Wave of Light.

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

Projects for October 15 in prior years have included calligraphy, luminaries, collages of our babies, photo project of bereaved parents, memorial wall, written word project about grief over time, audio compilation of spoken names, stories about the meaning behind a child’s name and an interactive map. Many of these touching projects are available for viewing at anytime on our website, allowing you to engage with the tributes and stories shared.
