Gracious God, we give thanks that you are with us, always, in our times of sorrow and joy. Help us to know your deep joy as we see your presence in the beauty of a sunset, hear your presence in the voice of a bird, feel your presence in the hug of someone who cares, even when we are in the midst of great sorrow. Amen.

We remember all who have been loved, and, especially this baby loss awareness week, those whose memories we cherish.
Be with all who grieve, wherever they are in their journey.
Help us to share our stories, and remember the babies forever carried in our hearts
In your loving name
Amen
