National Infant Loss Day - KXNet - Bismarck/Minot/Williston/Dickinson

Infant Loss Day

Posted: Updated:

Monday night many parents who've lost a baby are gathering at Fairview Cemetery in the Garden Of Peace.

Monday is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day across the nation.

Pastoral Care coordinator at Sanford Health, Burnie Kunz, says there's a range of emotions parents go through when they've lost a child.

She says events like the one tonight are good for those parents to attend.

"It definitely helps them, this is an actual burial service and so several babies will be buried tonight, but there's other people who come regularly just to remember the child that they lost," Burnie Kunz said.

The event starts at 6:00 p.m. Monday evening, parents will have the opportunity to release balloons with lights in them closer to sunset.
