The Les Franqueses del Vallès City Council has scheduled two events on October 16 and 17 to commemorate International Gestational, Perinatal, and Neonatal Grief Day, a day dedicated to families who have experienced the loss of a child.

On Friday, October 16, at 7:00 PM, the Casal Cultural de Corró d'Avall will host the monologue Gimcamama. The performance, written and interpreted by Lorena Serra, recounts her personal journey with infertility and assisted reproductive techniques, addressing the associated emotional, physical, and economic experiences. The actress will be accompanied by a stage partner who will introduce musical elements. Access to this event is free but requires prior ticket collection via entrapolis.com.
The following day, Saturday, October 17, at 6:00 PM, the Corró d'Avall cemetery will be the setting for the central commemorative act. Organized by the City Council in collaboration with ENEI. Associació Espai Nadó - Espai Infant les Franqueses, the event will include a speech by the Councilor for Health and Public Health, Carlos Munzón Cruz, and the reading of a manifesto. The commemoration will conclude with a symbolic gesture in memory of the children and the grief that often goes unnoticed, accompanied by music from the Municipal Music School of Les Franqueses del Vallès.
Both initiatives aim to raise awareness about gestational, perinatal, and neonatal grief, creating spaces for reflection, remembrance, and recognition of this reality.
