Annual October Memorial

International World Peace Rose Garden, State Capitol

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Sharing Parents has chosen October to hold our annual remembrance ceremony to remember our precious babies in a very special way while raising awareness in the community. Our program includes, stories of loss, music, candle lighting, ceremonial dove release courtesy of Wings of Love, and more.

There will be a memorial area for you to bring flowers, pictures and mementos of your baby(ies) to share and display.

We invite you, your family, and friends to join us as we honor the lives of the babies that we hold in our hearts.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 916-424-5150 or email hello@sharingparents.org

Following the ceremony there will be time for an optional butterfly release. It is recommended that you pre-order your butterfly(ies), as availability cannot be guaranteed on the day of the ceremony. Due to a limited availability of Monarch Butterflies from local vendors, Sharing Parents has pre-purchased a select quantity of butterflies. Supplies are limited and when that quantity has been sold we are unable to purchase additional butterflies. Purchases may be made through September 30th, while supplies last.

Butterflies are on sale for $25 each. 

Have your butterflies reserved by ordering today!

In 2020, Sharing Parents was unable to hold its in-person memorial. Instead, we offered parents the opportunity to send in a photo to remember their baby(ies). We had a wonderful response and were honored to put together the following slideshow!
