Infant loss service is Tuesday
GREENFIELD — An upcoming service is designed to give families who’ve suffered the loss of a baby a place to grieve.
Life Choices Care Center and Brandywine Community Church are partnering on a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Memorial Service. It’s set for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday; Oct. 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
“There’s a lot of families out there that have experienced this loss,” said Jill Williams, executive director of the center in Greenfield. When some friends of a family may not have known about the pregnancy yet, navigating the loss can feel complicated or isolating.
“Hopefully we’re going to bring together a lot of families … recognize that their baby’s life had meaning,” Williams said. “God does have a plan and purpose for every life, no matter how small.”
The service at Brandywine’s pond will begin with some worship music. Bethany Bruner, Brandywine’s director of women’s ministry, will speak. Then those attending will receive dissolvable rice paper, on which they can write a letter to their baby before releasing the letters into the church pond.
