On 15 October at 7pm, candles will be lit around the world as part of the Wave of Light.

These candles are for every baby who is loved, remembered and missed.

For some, lighting a candle will be a quiet moment at home. For others, it may be part of a remembrance event surrounded by family, friends or other bereaved parents.

However you choose to mark it, there is no right or wrong way to remember your baby.

You might say their name.
You might look through photographs.
You might sit quietly with a candle.
You might choose not to take part at all.

Every baby matters. Every story matters. Every family remembers in their own way.

At 7pm on 15 October, we will light our candle for all the babies who died too soon, and for the families who continue to carry their love.

If you are taking part, you can share your candle using and join families around the world in remembering precious babies gone too soon. 🩵

For support during Baby Loss Awareness Week, Sands and other baby loss organisations are there for families whenever they need them.

💙 Hello October 💙

As we welcome a new month, we know October may bring moments of reflection, remembrance and difficult emotions for many bereaved families.

Perhaps October holds your baby or child’s birthday, anniversary or due date. It may be the sight of Halloween costumes, autumn adventures or family traditions that brings thoughts of the moments they should have been here to share.

October also includes Baby Loss Awareness Week, from 9–15 October, ending with the global Wave of Light. Throughout the week, we will come together to remember every much-loved baby who died during pregnancy or after birth, while recognising the families who carry their love and loss every day.

Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, your baby or child will always be part of your family and their life will always matter.

If you feel comfortable, please share their name in the comments so we can welcome October by filling this post with love, names and precious memories. 💙

They are loved. They are remembered. They will always matter.

On ***dePreventionDay, we remember everyone affected by su***de.💙

Su***de is not inevitable - with the right support, connection and action, lives can be saved.

Signs that someone is struggling aren’t always obvious. Check in on the people around you, start the conversation and please remember it’s always okay to ask for help.

Together, we can challenge the stigma surrounding su***de and mental health, encourage more open conversations and create a community where people feel safe to speak up and seek help.

If you or someone you know is struggling, Samaritans are there day or night, free, on 116 123.

For immediate help call 999 or 111 and select option 2
