Infant Loss

In (God's) hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. - Job 12:10

​

Saint Paulinus of Nola, Pray for us.

Infant loss: The death of a baby within the first year of life.

Neonatal period: Birth to 28 completed days of life. 


Preterm Birth is one of the leading causes of infant loss. 

​

Other common causes include low birthweight, birth defects, pregnancy complications, injuries, and SIDS. Research is still attempting to find answers to the cause of SIDS.

​

Support groups and Catholic counseling/grief counseling with a trusted professional may be beneficial in assisting the grief journey.
