October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Tens of thousands of families lose a baby each year. Join us at Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve on October 15 for an International Wave of Light to honor the babies among the stars and acknowledge the devastation that comes with pregnancy and infant loss.

Several community partners have come together to bring awareness to pregnancy and infant loss. We will hold a healing circle, led by Asha McMillian of Milk and Honey Milestones, beginning at 6:30pm. At 7pm, we will join with others around the world to *light a candle in honor and memory of babies lost during pregnancy or to stillbirth. After lighting your candle, take a remembrance walk, write your baby's name in the sand, or sit and reflect.

This is a time to acknowledge your grief and your baby's life.

*All candles in the Garden will be battery-operated. Families will receive a hand-poured all-natural wellness candle created by Asha McMillian to take home.
