2nd trimester loss Wave of Light

I am not sure how popular this is worldwide but wanted to mention it because it is one thing that I have been looking forward to. I will be lighting a whole bunch for all our babies. Sending love.

This is my first wave of light, I’ve also been looking forward to it.

I’ve put together some social media templates to share if anyone is interested please shoot me a dm or I’ve also posted it over at r/bereaveddads

I just saw the template on your page and immediately started crying. I’ll light one for Parker James along with my own.

I’m an L&D nurse and I will be helping to host our hospital’s remembrance ceremony tomorrow. Gathering with families who have delivered with us and staff who have experienced loss, lighting candles, speaking their names, honoring them.

I hadn't heard about it until this year because it's not that common, but I just found out that my town lights our tower tonight at 7pm too.

Thank you for sharing. I haven't seen a lot of posts leading up to Wave of Light yet. I just added a second one to ask all to share a photo of their candle. I loved that last year. The first candles of this Wave of Light are about to be lit. 🕯️💖

I have been weirdly holding on to this day since the day we buried our daughter in January (ETA: the funeral home told us about it). I don’t know what I hope to even get out of it but I have been drowning in sorrow this week and hoping that just having something that honors our babies will bring me some peace.

I don’t know what this is. Can someone do a quick explainer?

To honor pregnancy and infant loss awareness month, Tonight at 7 pm , light a candle in memory of babies lost for one hour.
