Today is a special day...an important day. Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
15.6% of all pregnancies end in loss yet this is still such a taboo subject. Only by speaking about it and encouraging others to speak up can we find support in one another. There are many grieving parents in the world, and today is a day to come together.
A great site has been started to bring together grieving families on this important day. You can check out their website here.
"Too many families grieve in silence, sometimes never coming to terms with their loss. Our goal is to help others relate to our loss, know what to say, do, or not say, not do and to help families live with their loss, not 'get over' their loss."
This website started the following grassroots movement that is slowly catching on all across the world. I encourage everyone who has lost a baby themselves, or knows someone who has to take part. United in grief we find love and strength.
Wave of Light for October 15th
Everyone is invited to light a candle on October 15th at 7pm in ALL time zones, ALL over the world.
If everyone lights a candle at 7pm and keeps it burning for at least one hour, there will be a continuous WAVE OF LIGHT over the entire world on October 15th, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
These candles burn in loving memory of our babies.
