Each year on 15th October Baby Loss Awareness Week ends with a Global Wave of Light. At 7pm GMT candles are lit for at least an hour to honour all of the precious babies gone far too soon. There are many events but if a public event feels like too much, this can be done at home.
Each year we take the names or a special name of the little ones families that we support and light candles and read those names aloud. To add your little ones name please email here.
We would like to invite each of you to light a candle in honour of each precious baby, whether you have personally experienced baby loss or know someone that has and you want to support. You can even add the name of the baby or a special nickname on to the candle/candle holder. If you choose to you could say their names aloud, write them a little letter or poem and read this to them.
If you wish to you can even take pictures of your lit candles and share on social media remembering to use the hashtags #BLAW #WaveOfLight #theosfoundation and tag @theosfoundation and @babyloss
We understand Baby Loss Awareness Week can heighten emotions and bring up memories, trauma and pain, if you are affected and need to reach out at anytime please feel free to contact us for support. We are always here, sending love and strength.
