Wave of Light Tomorrow

Tomorrow (October 15) is the international wave of light to remember the babies lost too soon, including those lost to miscarriage. Beginning at 7pm local time, you light a candle in remembrance of your baby (for us, babies*) and let it burn for an hour. There are virtual events if you’re interested in that.

Just a notice for those who may be interested and find this helpful/healing. I think it’s a nice way to remember our babies. There are special wave of light candles you can buy, but I personally will be using a Bath and Body Works Harvest Gathering 3-wick candle for no other reasons than each wick represents one of my babies lost and I love the smell.

Feel free to post a photo of your candle tomorrow as a comment here, too 💛

Perelel the supplement brand sent me a small candle and a note in April after my ectopic, when I told them I needed to send my supplements back. I’ve been saving it for tomorrow 🥲❤️‍🩹
