In recognition of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and in honor of families who have experienced loss, Methodist is hosting butterfly gardens at Methodist Women's Hospital, Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital and Methodist Fremont Health.

The gardens contain butterfly ornaments honoring each child gone too soon with a message from their loved ones. Butterflies were collected at the Remembrance of Life ceremonies hosted in Fremont and Omaha in September. 

If you missed either of the ceremonies, you can still share your baby's name(s) and the memories you hold dear on a special butterfly ornament. Information can be submitted online through Oct. 15 at www.bestcare.org/remembrance.

Weather permitting, butterflies will be on display at all three hospitals through October.
