Today, we pause for remembrance.
October 15 marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. A day to hold space for the babies who were deeply loved but never got to stay, and for the parents and families whose hearts carry both love and loss.
Grief after such loss is not something to “get over.” It is something we learn to live alongside; a quiet ache that can resurface in unexpected moments. It’s love, without a place to go.
Tonight, as candles are lit around the world for the Wave of Light, we join in honouring every precious life gone too soon and every parent navigating this journey in silence and strength. You are not alone. Your love matters. Your loss matters.
If you are grieving today, know that your feelings, in all their depth and complexity, are valid. Take gentle care of yourself, and reach out if you need support. We are here to walk with you.
