Honey Fact of the Month: OctoberTheme: Love, Loss, and the Sacredness of Arrival
Honey Fact:
October holds multitudes.
It’s Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time to honor the invisible grief carried by so many.
It’s also the month your story changed — my story changed.
Because October is when I got married.
And it’s the month Malcolm was born — at 28 weeks, fragile and fierce, tiny but determined to stay.
Why It Matters:
So many of us carry both the ache and the awe.
We have babies we didn’t get to hold long.
We have love stories built on more than romance — built on resilience.
We’ve watched machines breathe for our children and still dared to believe in miracles.
And while the world keeps moving, we pause.
We remember.
We celebrate what made it.
We honor what didn’t.
And we give ourselves permission to feel it all.
Personal Truth:
My wedding anniversary is in October — a reminder of the love that steadied me.
And Malcolm, my middle baby, my firebrand, came into this world 12 weeks early.
I didn’t know what would happen, but I knew I’d fight for him with everything I had.
This month holds the sacred — the beginning of our family, the fight for his life, and the quiet remembering of all the babies who didn’t get to stay.
I hold it gently. I hold it boldly.
Because this is love.
