We want to thank everyone who joined the global #WaveOfLight last night. Seeing all your candles burning brightly was such a special way to conclude Baby Loss Awareness Week 💜🩷 💙

Tonight at 7 pm, we mark the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025 with the global Wave of Light.

Join us and others around the globe by lighting a candle at 7 pm and leaving it burning for at least one hour to remember all the babies who have died too soon.

For many, #BLAW can stir painful memories and emotions. As the week has grown, the increase in social media activity can feel overwhelming. It’s okay to step back. It’s okay to take a break. It’s okay to ask for support.

Our support services run as usual throughout the week.
For now, we want to gently welcome you and remind you that if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or triggered at any point this week, it’s completely okay to take a step back. Be kind to yourself.

#BLAW25 #BabyLoss #PregnancyLoss #TFMR #TFMRsupport
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing stories from individuals who have experienced #TFMR, as well as ways you can get involved in #BLAW25.
Today marks the beginning of the 23rd annual Baby Loss Awareness Week 🩷💙

Baby Loss Awareness Week is a global event where we come together to remember all the babies who died too soon.
