I have never celebrated or heard of The Day of The Innocents, but I think this sort of rite would be useful in today's society... The idea of time to spend with other women where they don't have to keep it together about losses of babies or children... It feels like now is a time that we don't talk about these things, we don't discuss miscarriages, and lost children and babies are grieved only for a short while and then it's put away... Like women are out of practise about how to grieve with their sisters, don't know what to say, so feel it is better to say nothing... I don't feel like that's the answer, I think support for these great losses should be ongoing, as the thoughts about them are...
