This is a group that was put together to help families remember their lost babies. Global Wave of Light is an annual observance that honors and remembers babies who have died during pregnancy, childbirth, or infancy. This day serves as a global moment of remembrance for families and individuals who have experienced the loss of a child. Participants around the world light candles and create a wave
of light that symbolizes love, support, and remembrance for these precious lives. Global Wave of Light is an opportunity to provide comfort, raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss, and break the silence surrounding this often deeply personal and emotional experience. October 15 was declared Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in a resolution passed by the United States House of Representatives in September 2006 thanks to the tireless efforts of a group of miscarriage awareness activists led by Robyn Bear. Robyn is the founder of October15.com, and her vision was for a day “when all grieving parents could come together and be surrounded by love and support from their friends and families, a day where the community could better understand their pain…a day to reflect on the loss yet remember the love.” October 15 is now observed by bereaved parents and their loved ones around the world in a Wave of Light. At 7 PM in all time zones, candles are lit and kept burning for one hour, creating a 24 hour “wave of light” as it moves around the world in reverence of beloved babies who are dearly loved and forever missed.
