Unless you have lost a child not many people know about Oct 15th. I found out about it two years ago after my daugter Bailee was stillborn at 39 weeks, 6 days. Oct 15th is the day, although our children are forever with us in our hearts, we all can reach out to those during their time of grief and remember our children.

Everyone is invited to light a candle tomorrow at 7pm in all time zones, World Wide Wave of Light. If everyone lights a candle at 7pm and keeps it burning for at least one hour, there will be a continous wave of light all over the world.

Thank you for the information!

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your daughter. I pray that everyone who is dealing with a loss such as that is comforted by our powerful God today. He gives so much peace...even through a tradgedy.

AMEN! A mother's empty arms is a pain I wish no woman had to bear.
 
The same thing happened to a girl I know. She lost her 3rd daughter. She is now pregnant again and I will send her this link. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine going through it. (((HUGS))).

Thank you ladies. Please dont forget to light a candle tonight!
 
I'll do that. I'm sorry for your loss. I have a dear friend whose son and daughter-in-law just lost a child before they had the chance to hold it in their arms. I can't imagine the pain.
