Wave of Light

Today - 15th October 2017 marks the end of Babyloss Awareness Week. In the UK alone 3600 babies are stillborn every year that is 11 per day. 1 in 200 births ends in stillbirth. Shocking statistics? So today at 7.00pm anyone who has lost a baby through stillbirth is invited to light a candle and help create a Wave of Light around the world in rememberance of these little ones who never drew breath but are always remembered and always loved. The fact that I have this candle tells my own story...........

Shocking statistics. No idea about the situation in my country. Your last sentence touched me...

I missed lighting a candle so I've blown a kiss to my 2 angels 😊

Goosebumps at reading this and seeing your post. Lovely capture, and shocking statistics. I had no idea it was so many.
