Warning: These photos could be a trigger for parents who have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth. We are so sorry for your loss.
A stillbirth is every expectant parent's nightmare. However, for seven out of 1,000 births in Canada, it is a reality.
More and more parents are choosing to talk publicly about their baby and their grief. They want to raise awareness about their reality and are finding beautiful ways to remember the children they've lost.
In these Instagram photos, parents reflect on the babies they were only able to hold briefly and they remind us that their stillborns are still very much loved.
