Baby Loss Awareness Week is an opportunity for everyone to come together to remember and commemorate much-loved and missed babies.
The week ends with the Wave of Light on Wednesday 15 October, when people across the world light a candle at 7pm and leave it burning to remember all babies that have died too soon.
We are inviting families to join us for ‘A Time for Remembering’ service in the Chapel at St James's University Hospital, which will start at 6:15pm on 15 October. After the service, families, friends and staff are also invited to the Chapel to mark the Wave of Light. Battery operated tealights or lanterns can be brought along to switch on at 7pm. Refreshments will be available and there will be access to the chapel to hang remembrance tokens on the tree until 7.30pm.
If you wish to attend, or are unable to come but wish for a message to be placed on the tree, please complete the form on our website: https://www.leedsth.nhs.uk/news/blaw25/
