Tonight's Wave of Light

“When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When a parent loses a child, there is no word to describe it.” (Ronald Reagan)

There is no word to describe it. There is no collection of words to adequately capture it. There is no book, no song lyric, no essay that can fully articulate the way it feels to have lost your very wanted baby. Each life uniquely loved and cherished for the child they were to us, whether we held them in our arms for a moment or not at all. 

Tonight at 7pm, in every time zone, we light a candle in remembrance of our babies. This is known as the Wave of Light. 

My husband and I will be participating in the Wave of Light to remember our darling twins Finnian and Maisie, who we wish with every fiber of our being were in our arms, but whose light will never leave our hearts. We will also light a candle for the many other babies lost in pregnancy and after, some very close to us by way of friends and family. 

Please feel free to share in the comments any babies you are remembering today so that we can acknowledge them with you <3

​You may also contact me if you would like to share more of your own story. I'd love to listen and also help you share it with others if you would like.

​Love and hugs, Tiffany
