What does the design represent?
The memorial is uniquely designed in the shape of a womb, the hidden place that nurtures and protects the beginning of human life.

Why are many grieving?
The loss of a child before birth can be debilitating for those who suffer miscarriage, stillbirth and broken dreams, and unexpectedly devastating for those who regret their abortions and suffer guilt, shame and broken hearts.
