A Proclamation

Whereas, thousands of families are bereaved by pregnancy and infant loss in North Carolina every year; and

Whereas, pregnancy and infant loss includes infant death, miscarriage, stillbirth, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and death of a newborn; and

Whereas, North Carolina wishes to acknowledge the profound, lifelong grief and loss these families experience; and

Whereas, today we honor and remember the pregnancies and infants lost and recognize the painful, lifelong impact on their families and loved ones; and

Whereas, raising public awareness will encourage additional community support for those individuals who have suffered such an unexpected tragedy and promote necessary efforts to prevent further pregnancy and infant loss;

Now, Therefore, I, Josh Stein, Governor of the State of North Carolina, do hereby proclaim October 2025 as “Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness Month” and October 15, 2025, as “Pregnancy And Infant Loss Remembrance Day” in North Carolina, and commend its observance to all citizens.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Great Seal of the State of North Carolina at the Capitol in Raleigh this twenty-third day of September in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-fifth and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
