AIBU wave of light for baby loss.

[3littlebadgers]

Ok I might be a tad U to post here, but there was another lovely thread from a lovely poster that didn't get much traffic.
Just a little reminder to anyone who would like to take part. To remember all of the precious and beautiful babies that have sadly been lost there is a wave of light this evening. Everyone is invited to light a candle at 7pm in all time zones (apologies if this is late for anyone) to participate in a worldwide wave of light in observance of baby loss awareness day.
I will be lighting mine for my beautiful angel girl born sleeping in March this year. I miss you so very much my darling but the pain of missing you is a badge I will wear with pride because it means I got to hold you if only for a little while.
to all of the other families who are lighting candles tonight instead of tucking their babies up for the night.

Mine are ready to light.

Oh precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me
So perfect, pure, and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.

We dreamed of you and your life
And all that it would be.
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family.

We never had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you, touch you now,
And listen to you giggle.

I’ll always be your mother
He’ll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
The child that we had.

But now you’re gone…but yet you’re here
We sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy,
There’s love in every tear.

Just know our love goes deep and strong,
We’ll forget you never—
The child we had, but never had,
And yet, will have forever.

My candles are ready to be lit for my beautiful dd1 and for far too many other little ones gone too soon. to everyone.

Happy I quite like the grin

Alora that is beautiful thank you

These aren't my words but I thought they were beautiful.

You're one of heaven's Angels now,
A perfect little star.
And when you shine the world can see,
How beautiful you are.

May you fly with magic wings,
On clouds so soft and white.
May your heart be joyful,
And your days be bathed in light.

And though our hearts are broken,
And your life was far too short.
We thank you, sweetest angel,
For the happiness you brought.

I've not lost a baby but am 12w pregnant and having my scan tomorrow. It's such a scary time. Will think of you all at 7pm and of your babies. for all of you.

I have to work so cannot light our candle at 7pm but I will when i'm home - it's such a difficult time and with the grieving and loss it's lovely to have a moment of rememberence for our little one and who they would have been.
I hope you all find a tiny bit of peace and healing from tonight

It's one of my favourites, as is this

The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.

The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
For every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.

Good luck for tomorrow Dorothea

That one always has me in tears Alora. When my beautiful girl was stillborn the snowdrops were out in full force. It just takes me back to that time, not in a bad way, just in a 'that's so true' sort of a way.

I will light my candle tonight for three siblings and a niece or nephew we never got to meet.

So sorry for all of your losses.

Such beautiful words on here

Truly so sorry for everyone's losses.

I agree, may we all find some peace tonight.

I will be lighting a candle tonight, for my gorgeous James, and in rememberance of all the other babies gone to soon.

Sadly I know too many people who have suffered losses so the candle will be lit tonight. to you OP and others who have had losses - thank you for the lovely post

O I shouldn't have read this on my tea break. Im teary already. We lost a baby at work this morning (nnu) it doesn't get any easier.
to all who have suffered. Im still at work at 7 but will be thinking about you all tonight.

LavenderRain bless you for all the work you and units like yours up and down the country do.

I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is to witness and see tragedy while keeping your chin up for families.

That has me in tears Alora

for everyone.

Today has been hard.

I am so very sorry for all your losses. And have been thinking of you all throughout the day. I hope there is some comfort from tonight.

Flambola, you were so supportive when I lost my little girl. You and James hold a special place in my heart. I will be thinking of you both tonight

I will be lighting 3 candles tonight

Thinking of you all - I'm currently 24 wks on my 4th attempt and today is actually my birthday so feeling very emotional

I too have never suffered a loss, but I will light a candle in solidarity with those who have

Brummiegirl happy birthday I hope this year you get your precious gift we're here for a hand hold when you need us.
Blobblob thank you for honouring our babies

Thanks Beet I just feel so sorry for the families involved. All we can do is support them as best we can.
It never ceases to amaze me how strong Parents are.

I'm currently 4+5 after a loss at only 5 weeks in May this year.
Thank you for this post, I will be lighting a candle for all the little Angels and thinking of you all.

I will be lighting a candle for all the precious babies/children, I hope this is ok
