Memories of an Angel

15/10/2026

ＷＡＶＥ ＯＦ ＬＩＧＨＴ

Tonight we join families around the world in lighting candles at 7 pm to honour and remember our precious babies lost too soon.

As part of this global moment of reflection, I invite you to share the name/s of the little ones you’re remembering this evening and if you feel comfortable a photo tribute in their memory.

Together, we are creating a wave of love, light and remembrance that stretches across the globe. 🕯️

Baby Loss Awareness Week is here. Please be gentle with yourselves this week. ❤️

And just like that, Baby Loss Awareness Week begins. 💗

As I wrote on my post (which is an excerpt from The Baby Loss Guide), this week isn’t for those who have lost — it’s because of them. It’s a time to raise awareness among those who haven’t experienced loss themselves, to open hearts, share stories, and gently educate society about the lifelong impact of losing a much-longed-for child.

That’s why I wanted to share this image from the subway. We don’t always have to shout from the rooftops; sometimes, a few heartfelt words, placed in the right spot, can reach the very people who need to see them.

This week, I hope you’ll find your own way to take part , if you want to.
Maybe that’s sharing a post, joining one of our Saying Goodbye Services, signing up for a fundraiser, or simply lighting a candle in the quiet of your home. Every act, public or private, is enough.

And if you choose not to engage at all, that’s okay too. You don’t owe the world your story this week. Your love, your grief, your truth, they exist every single day of the year, not just during this one.

For anyone feeling tender or triggered, please take care of your heart. Limit your scrolling, take breaks, and listen to what you need.

I’m here if you need me. ♥️

Happy 8th Birthday to my beautiful Noah.

If love could have saved you, you’d still be here.

This is spot on.
It was her baby and her baby mattered. ❤️

A grieving mom who just lost her baby doesn’t need to hear:

“Everything happens for a reason.”
“You can always have another baby.”
“At least you know you can get pregnant.”
“It was probably for the best.”
“Try not to think about it.”
“God needed another angel.”
“You weren’t that far along.”
“Be grateful for the children you do have.”

She doesn’t need an explanation.
She doesn’t need a silver lining.
She doesn’t need you to make her grief smaller.

She needs someone to sit beside her in the heartbreak and simply say:

“I’m so sorry. Your baby mattered. Your loss matters. And I’m here for you.”

Because to her, this wasn’t just a pregnancy.

It was her baby. 🤍🕊️

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. 🩷🩵

Today, and every day throughout this month, we acknowledge and remember all of the babies whose precious little lives were cut far too short.

Your baby matters.
Your love matters.
Your loss matters.

This October, please be gentle. You never know whose heart is quietly remembering a little life they would have given anything to keep.

For every baby remembered, every family carrying their loss, and every love that continues beyond goodbye.

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.

For the babies who were loved before they were ever held.

For the babies who were held, but not nearly long enough.

For the pregnancies that ended before there was a chance to announce them.

For the due dates that still live in someone’s heart.

For the names only a few people know.

For the tiny clothes that never got worn.

For the moms who had to walk out of an ultrasound room with their entire world changed.

For the parents who still wonder who their baby would’ve been.

And for every family carrying a grief that the rest of the world may not see

Your baby mattered.
Your love mattered.
Your loss matters.

This October, please be gentle. You never know whose heart is remembering a little life they would’ve given anything to keep.

Can you knit or crochet?!

Heartfelt would love to hear from you ahead of their special festive Christmas sessions. ❤️

Can you knit or crochet?

🎄🎄 Help us bring a little Christmas cheer to babies spending Christmas in hospital.🎄🎄

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Heartfelt members across Australia and New Zealand come together at participating hospitals to photograph special festive sessions for babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

These sessions are a little different from our usual Heartfelt service. They’re something our wonderful members have created because they want to bring a little joy, connection and Christmas spirit to families who may be spending the festive season in hospital.

We’re looking for people who love to knit or crochet to help make tiny Christmas hats and teddy toys for these sessions, in partnership with the Last Cuddles Project.

Each little hat and teddy is gifted to the family as a keepsake after their session. ❤️

If you can help, or know someone who might, we’d love to hear from you.

🎁 Donations are needed by around 1 December to give us time to get them to participating hospitals before Christmas.

Please share this with your crafty friends — every little hat and teddy can help make a difficult Christmas a little more special.
