October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. The wave of light is a pretty awesome thing, a way to honor this day for your own loss and/or the loss of others, a way to show support and let others know they are not alone... I remember this being shared about all over facebook last year, and I'll be honest... I didn't really think twice about it. I thought it was wonderful but I just did not realize how supportive and therapeutic and inspiring a simple action like lighting a candle could be for those who have suffered this type of loss. It offers a sense of community signifying that we are not alone and that our loss is not forgotten.
I was at work during the wave of light remembrance so instead of lighting a candle, I brought a flameless candle to work and turned it on. It was nice to be able to do that knowing that others were also doing the same.
