On October 15 from 7-8 p.m., millions of families around the world will light a candle in remembrance of the baby they lost. This gesture creates a literal wave of light all around the world in honor of the babies born sleeping, the ones we carried but never held, the ones we held but could not take home, and the ones who came home but could not stay.
No family should experience infant loss alone. The Never Forgotten Program at Erlanger exists to provide support and resources for families experiencing this grief. Today, we lit 106 candles to represent the families we supported through their darkest hours.
If you feel comfortable sharing, we invite you to leave your baby's name in the comments below as we honor and remember our precious babies on National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. 💙 Every name represents a life forever loved and never forgotten.
If you or someone you know has experienced the loss of a baby, support is available.
