Preparing for the birth of a child can be one one of the most blissful times in the life of a family but sadly for thousands of expectant mothers every year, infant loss can turn that bliss into tragedy with very little warning. Statistics show that 1 in 4 women experience pregnancy or infant loss. It’s a pain that may parents understand, but one that sadly is ignored in society today. Emma’s Footprints is an organization founded by Amelia Kowalisyn with a mission to walk families through their grief journey.
