“You crave to hear their name:” honoring Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Parents who go through these tragedies often feel isolated and alone, but one Athens organization is working to help these parents be seen by their community. To mark this month, WUGA’s Emma Auer attended a story-sharing event in Athens, where she spoke to a couple effected by this issue.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
