With love and heavy hearts, tonight we illuminated nearly 130 candles in honor of babies gone too soon. In honor of what might have been. In honor of unimaginable choices to that where heartbreakingly necessary. In honor of hope and love and the journey to and through parenthood.

With every name that was written, moments of silence were given in their honor along the way. Reading their name, writing it out, placing it, lighting their candle, and gently putting it away. 🤍

Great care was given to placement of names that are connected. My babies are always near by best friends babies and my family’s babies. I take great care in placing yours together too.

Tonight was heavy in so many ways and simultaneously so beautiful. Give yourself time and permission to feel it all.

Thank you for being part of this with us, it is our honor to remember with you.

With love,
Kami

Find comfort in the uncomfortable.

That is the advice I share with others as they ask how to best support someone that has experienced pregnancy and/or infant loss.

Grief is uncomfortable. We, as humans, do not know what to say or do and somehow, even with the best of intentions, the words and actions come out all wrong. Our instinct is to make this person feel better, to say something that will fix it all or make the pain go away. The reality though is that there is nothing you can say or do that will take away the heartache and lessen the grief.

But what you can do is lean in and bear witness to it. See them. Hear them. Offer comfort by not turning away, but by turning in and making space for vulnerability without judgment and without the need to “fix.” Get curious. “Did you name your baby?” “How may I honor your baby with you?”

And please, don’t leave them out and don’t stop inviting them to the table because you think it might be uncomfortable for them because one of those invitations may be a yes and be exactly what they need at the moment. Honor the milestones, write them a note, and do it all without expectation of receiving a response. They are at their maximum capacity, but know this, your thoughtfulness will offer comfort in the quietest of moments.

If you know someone that has experienced pregnancy or infant loss, we invite you to reach out to them this month (and always) and check in - a simple “I’m thinking of you and (baby’s name) today” will be greatly appreciated.

As always, we’re here to help if you or someone you know would like additional support 🩷

Our first Light the Way: Conference & Silent Auction was nothing short of inspiring. Thank you for joining us and thank you to everyone involved in making this event possible. If this message finds you and you weren't able to join us - I do hope you'll consider for 2027.

Historically, when someone experiences miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or infant loss - let's also include TFMR, infertility, ectopic pregnancies, molar pregnancies... the list goes on - the silence that surrounds them is deafening. There is isolation and unrealistic expectations to just move on - don't talk about loss, box up our emotions and put them on the shelf.

Over the last several years, this perspective has started to shift and on Tuesday - I felt the shift in the room as each of us looked right into the face of loss and said, "I'm here. Teach me. Show me. Share with me. We're in this together. I'm here for you."

Together, we made it happen. We extended the table and added chairs. We had healthcare leadership, educators, bereavement resources, nurses, doctors, counselors, therapists, social workers, doulas, nonprofit resources, small businesses, community members, and bereaved families. We had local businesses invest in our mission by providing food, beverage, and incredible Silent Auction items.

This is what I mean when I say the heart of Let the Light In is Compassionate Community. We show up for those navigating the unimaginable and we kick up dust as fierce protectors. We rally in support. We take care of one another.

And we're just getting started.

Would you do us a favor? If you attended the event or would like to be involved in 2027, would you take a few minutes to provide some feedback?

We realize there were logistical issues we'll perfect in 2027 - but what we really want to know is how this event impacted you and what you want more of in 2027. What emotion did you hold onto when you walked out the door on Tuesday evening?

As always, I'm here if you want to talk through the conference, support, and ideas for what comes next.

Thank you again for Lighting the Way,
Kami
Founder & President, Let the Light In

If you cannot attend the Wave of Light Event, we invite you to mark your calendar and light a candle at home in remembrance, honor, and love for those we’ve lost. We would be honored to light a candle on your behalf also, simply comment below, send us a private message, or go to the event page and submit your name(s). 🤍
