Since its inception, the Wave of Light has brought immeasurable comfort to those who ache for the loss of a baby. Here's what you need to know for 2024.
This year's event falls on Tuesday, October 15th, 2024, and you can take part wherever you are in the world. At 7 pm local time, light a candle and place it in a window, doorstep, or balcony, and let its gentle glow shine as a beacon of remembrance for all the babies who have been lost too soon.

The Importance of the Wave of Light

The Wave of Light is a global event, and it's heartbreaking to think about the millions of candles that will be lit in solidarity with grieving families. The event serves as a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our grief and that there is a community of people who understand our pain.
The Wave of Light is also an opportunity to raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss, which often carries a stigma in our society. By participating in the event, we can help to break down the barriers of silence and shame that surround these losses. You can show your support by lighting a candle or sharing a message of hope on social media with the hashtag #WaveOfLight.
