In 1988, the month of October was named national Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. October 15th has further been recognized as the international day of awareness.
Organizations across the globe ask that you take part in the "Wave of Light" by lighting a candle at 7pm, in your local time zone. Please take a moment on this day for reflection, and remembering our lost children by lighting a candle at home, in groups and gatherings, attending a mass, or calling someone close to you who has experienced this loss. No matter how recent or how long ago, every parent would love to know that someone is remembering their angel child.
I thought I would share this and hope you can join us in lighting a candle for Lola...don't worry I'll send lots of reminders. Everyday I could tell you a million times over how much we miss her and just doesn't seem right. I always am thinking I should be rocking her or feeding her now, not typing a blog about how she is not here with us. I guess today is what they call an "angry" day, mad at the world...looking for answers that I will never find. I do find some peace in the "wave of light" and look forward to this special day. In fact, I think it calls for a new candle just for Lo, our angel child.
Grief work is a never-ending endeavor. It is a process through which you must travel, and hopefully find meaning and value along the way....
Love,
The Mother of an Angel
