On october 15th, at 7 p.m. local time, candles will begin to glow around the world for babies who were here for a moment but loved for a lifetime. 🕯️
this is the wave of light.
and behind every little flame is a story.
a mama who never got to bring her baby home.
a family who left the hospital with empty arms instead of the baby they had prepared for.
a positive pregnancy test that turned into heartbreak.
a tiny heartbeat that stopped too soon.
a baby whose due date still lives in their mama’s heart.
a parent who never got to hear their baby cry, hold their little fingers, or watch them grow.
some of these babies lived for minutes, some for months, and some were gone before their parents ever got to meet them.
but every single one was loved.
on this night, we light candles not because a flame can take away the grief, but because love deserves to be remembered.
at 7 p.m., one candle becomes another, and another, until the light travels around the world for 24 hours.
so if you’ve ever lost a baby, light a candle for them.
say their name.
whisper the birthday they never got to celebrate.
remember the little life that changed yours forever.
and if you know someone who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss, remember them, too. you don’t have to find the perfect words. sometimes simply saying “i remember your baby” means more than you know.
🕯️ october 15th. the wave of light.
for the babies we carried.
for the babies we held.
for the babies we never got to meet.
for the babies who were here for a moment and will be loved for a lifetime.
the world may not have known every baby, but tonight, we remember them. 🤍
