Walk of Remembrance honors loss of loved ones
by Shay Baruffi
Iron Count y Today
The Walk of Remembrance is an annual event that
creates the opportunity for parents, family members,
and friends to gather and remember a baby who has
died due to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, neonatal or any
type of pregnancy or infant loss. This is the 7th year
this beautiful event has taken place. “It’s a good thing
to have this available to those who have lost a child,
just to gather and say the baby’s name. It’s very hard
to lose a child. We have these people here in solidarity
and support of each other. It’s healthy for people to be
emotional about these hard things,” said Laurie Laws, a
coordinator of the event.
After opening remarks by coordinators of the event;
Laurie and Heidi, a heartfelt rendition of Christina Perri’s
A Thousand Years was performed on the cello followed
by a stunning vocal performance of Over the Rainbow. As
ceremonies came to a close and the walk began visitors
were able to say who they were walking for on their way
out. Guests walked a path lined with photos and loving
messages in memory of those who have gone.
Coordinator Heidi Hamilton, stated, “Even 20-30
years ago, they would never say anything about it. The
baby was just gone and now they’re out of your life,
never to be thought of again, but there can be a lot of
trauma associated with that. We have this event for
people to recognize their lost children.”
The Walk of Remembrance is a beautiful way to
remember lives lost and to stand with those who have
also experienced loss. For more information visit their
website at: https://www.walkofremembrance.co.za.
Signs to honor and remember loved ones lost were placed along the path during
the special Walk of Remembrance.
