Baby Loss Awareness Week
9th - 15th October
We are here for you this Baby Loss Awareness Week
Baby Loss Awareness Week, October 9th - 15th is a time for bereaved parents and families from all over the world to commemorate the lives of their babies and share the memories of their angels that were taken too soon. This week allows baby loss communities to come together to raise awareness, provide support and remember.
There are plenty of ways you can get involved with BLAW this year, from candle light services, your local wave of light to memorial walks or perhaps your own personal way of honouring your baby during this week.
Below you can find a list of events the Lily Mae Foundation is involved in this year. ​
Social Media Assets
We’ve created a collection of personalised social media assets for Baby Loss Awareness Week, designed to help you raise awareness, share your story and honour your baby’s memory.
You’ll find profile picture options and customisable story templates, with space for you to add your baby’s name above the ribbon. By sharing your story and remembering your baby, you can help raise awareness, connect with others and ensure our babies are remembered with love.
