Events for Baby Loss Awareness Week

Baby Loss Awareness Week is the 9th to the 15th of October every year. 

​

WAVE OF LIGHT

The International Wave of Light invites baby loss families, friends, loved ones and supporting organisations from around the world to join in honour and remembrance of all loved and longed for babies gone too soon. No matter where you are in the world, you can light a candle at 7pm in memory of your baby or babies to be part of the wave of light that begins here in Aotearoa and wraps around the globe.

Check out the Sands NZ Facebook page for the livestream link.
