Pregnancy and baby loss is often a taboo subject. You can help to break the silence around baby loss by talking to your friends, family and colleagues about Baby Loss Awareness Week and by joining the conversation on social media using the hashtag #BLAW wearing a pin badge or lighting a candle on 15th October.
More ways to get involved and spread the word:
Snap a selfie or a photo wearing your pin badge
Share it on social media – remember to add #BLAW and tag @babyloss on Instagram.
Use our specially designed Baby Loss Awareness Week resources on your website, blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or work intranet.
Join the global Wave Of Light at 7pm local time on 15 October
Simply light a candle and leave it burning for at least 1 hour to join us in remembering all babies who have died too soon. Post a photo of your candle to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using #WaveOfLight
