Capture Your Grief. Day 15. Wave of Light.

All across the world, bereaved parents light a candle at 7:00 p.m., local time, on October 15 to honour their babies who have died. So for 24 hours, there is a wave of light...

PAIL Network coordinated with the people at Niagara Falls and the CN Tower.  The CN Tower was supposed to be lit up in blue, pink and white for this day.  Unfortunately, it wasn't.  It was random colours.

We met with a bunch of other bereaved parents at a park across the street from the CN Tower with our candles and honoured our babies.  I was so dismayed to be meeting at a park.  A park where all of our children should be playing together but never will.  

It was such a disorganized event, if you could even call it an event.  All around the world people lit candles at 7:00 p.m., but this event started at 8:00 p.m.  

We will not be going back next year.






I knew that this day existed because of our miscarriages and I have changed my facebook status in previous years. But since Ethan died, this day now seems even more important. And sad. But so important for awareness.

Some other baby loss mommas I know lit a candle for Ethan, or set up lanterns with his name on them.  So beautiful and yet so sad.
