Wave of Light is an opportunity to join with bereaved parents, families and friends around the globe to commemorate all babies who sadly died too soon. It takes place at 7pm on 15 October every year, the last day of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Join us on Facebook Live to light a candle in memory of all much-loved babies gone too soon. Register your interest to get a notification when the event starts.

To join the global ‘Wave of Light’, simply light a candle at 7pm local time on 15 October and leave it burning for at least one hour. This can be done individually or in a group, at home or in a communal space. Wherever you do this, you will be joining a global ‘Wave of Light’ in memory of all the babies who lit up our lives for such a short time.

Post a photo of your candle to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and tag using #WaveOfLight.

You can also join Sands for live lighting of the candle on our Facebook at 7pm on 15th of October every year.
