Online Wave of Light
To mark the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week, we are coming together for a special online event in memory of babies lost during pregnancy or at or soon after birth.
Join us in lighting candles together to remember all the tiny lives lost in pregnancy or during or shortly after birth, during our annual Online Wave of Light event on Zoom. It will be held at 7pm on Sunday 15th October (with everyone logged in to the Zoom by 6.50pm).
While the candles are burning, we’ll also be remembering babies by reading out names, nicknames, due dates, or other important details you share with us, and the event will be rounded off with the reading of a poem.
Our Wave of Light events are being led by our volunteer support group leaders and are open to anyone.

It meant so very much to us both to be able to take part in the Wave of Light, it helped my husband to express his feelings and well, to just have a good cry. It was the first time he has cried since the day we found out we had lost the baby, so it was well needed.
The annual global Wave of Light, with candles burning across social media channels, will be starting at the same time. If you’re attending our online event there will be plenty of time afterwards to join in by searching for the hashtag #WaveofLight and sharing a photo if you wish.
Baby Loss Awareness Week starts on Monday 9th October.
