Baby Loss Awareness Week has been running for 22 years, this years event starts today, Monday 9th of October and culminates this Friday 15th October with the global ‘Wave of Light’. This globally recognised event invites families from the UK and across the world to light a candle at 7pm (UK time) and to leave it burning for at least one hour to remember all babies that have died too soon. You can also take part in the ‘Virtual Wave of Light’ where you are invited to take a photo of your candle and share it to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using: #WaveOfLight.
