International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is observed every October to honor and remember babies who have died during pregnancy, at birth, or shortly after.
This month raises awareness about the emotional impact of pregnancy and infant loss, encourages open conversations about grief, and provides support for families who have experienced these heartbreaking losses.
It’s also a time to break the silence around a topic that is often misunderstood or overlooked. By sharing stories, holding space for grieving parents, and educating the public, the month helps create a community of understanding, compassion, and remembrance.
The Wave of Light, observed on October 15th, is a global event where families, friends, and communities light candles in memory of babies who have passed, symbolizing love, hope, and remembrance.
