Can't link on phone, but the idea is that anyone across the world who has lost a baby lights a candle at 7pm on Thursday to remember their losses.

Anyone else doing it? I am assuming I will be drinking wine and be a snotty mess whilst dh is out - due date for DC who we lost in April would have been Friday.

I'm not big on public grief but it makes me so angry that this is such a forbidden/taboo topic.

If been much more open this time because keeping it in the other million times nearly killed me.

I'm also Irish and we believe lighting a cancel helps most stuff - I'm in no way religious but it helps me reflect.

Anyone joining me?

You are very kind, I don't feel selfless at all, it helps me to share my experiences. Pregnancy and baby loss is such a lonely experience, sometimes it's just nice to know there are others out there that understand the horrific pain because it's something you can't explain with all the words in the world.
