THE INTERNATIONAL WAVE OF LIGHT
Tonight, the 15th of October, people around the world will light a candle at 7pm to remember babies who have died during pregnancy, at birth, or in infancy.
For some, this may be a miscarriage. For others, a stillbirth, pregnancy loss, termination for medical reasons, or the loss of a baby after birth.
Whatever the circumstances, the grief can be profound.
A baby can be deeply loved, remembered and missed, even when their time with us was brief.
At 7pm tonight, a candle will become part of a wave of light moving around the world, connecting families and communities in remembrance.
For anyone carrying this kind of loss, please know that your grief is acknowledged and valid.
If you would like to take part, light a candle at 7pm local time and leave it burning for at least an hour.
Thinking of all the babies remembered tonight, and all the families who carry their memory.
