Wave of Light 2023

[CameraCoffeeCrochet]

Feeling sad today, it's been baby loss awareness week and tonight at 7pm I will be lighting a candle in support of all the mamas out there and families grieving their little ones.

There's a special thing on in our local Cathedral and and I don't know whether to go or not as I'm feeling emotional.

Don't really know what else to say, I'm just sending love to everyone who knows this kind of grief. Xx

Here's my candle . 🕯️

🕯

🕯

There are 7 candles in my window tonight 😔

🕯one candle, 9 years ago. Thought about all the time....

2 candles for mine, I think this week is great to raise awareness but also really sad because it brings it all back and I get upset.

Will I ever not be sad?

🕯

🕯️ my candle for my three little babies never in my arms but forever in my heart ❤️

🕯️ here’s mine for my baby, George, which was an ectopic pregnancy.

I feel absolutely ridiculous because I was so early into my pregnancy but I knew his name would be George. No I didn’t know the gender. Just resigned myself to only have boys!

@CameraCoffeeCrochet i feel the same. I get really upset and it brings it all back.

🕯️

For my daughter lost last year at 25 weeks and two early miscarriages since xxx

@TriangleBingoBongo Never feel ridiculous xxx

Thank you - I’ve never told anyone but everytime I meet a George or someone tells me that’s their sons name I remember him.

sorry for your loss and love to you too xxx

I've lit mine. I remember in the years just after our loss the hospital church did a service every year and I went to quite a few just sat and balled my eyes out but I helped me for sure. I think it's lovely churches do these services and no one should be afraid to go or scared to let their emotions out ❤️ 🕯️

Sending love to all who are doing this tonight, thinking of my multiple babies who didn't make it to term 🕯

I felt sad today and lit a candle for my 3 babies that never made it.

Four candles flickering on my mantle piece tonight.

I lost three babies to miscarriage and I count the little embryo that didn't stick as my baby too. Wondering if others do?

Either way, sending love to all who know the pain of not holding their babies, or not holding them for long enough.

🕯️

@She333 I count my embryos that didn't stick as well as my later miscarriage. I loved them, I lost them, I grieve them.
