As Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day approaches, we invite our community to join us for Wave of Light on October 15.

This annual observance brings people together to remember those lost during pregnancy and infancy, honor the love that remains, and hold space for the families whose lives have been touched by loss.

If you are unable to join us in person, we invite you to light a candle at home at 7 p.m. as part of the global Wave of Light observance. Together, we'll create a wave of light that connects communities around the world in a shared moment of reflection and support.
