Baby Loss Awareness Week
Baby Loss Awareness Week (9 - 15 October 2025) is an annual chance to come together as a community and give anyone touched by pregnancy or baby loss a safe space to share their experiences and feel less alone.
At SPACE, we also recognise that every loss matters, regardless of gestational weeks. Loss is loss, whether that loss was experienced through failed IVF, an early or later miscarriage, a stillbirth or a neonatal loss. Everyone’s story matters.
We also recognise that childlessness caused by infertility is a unique form of loss that needs to be grieved as well. So there is also a space for you here too…
Baby Loss Awareness Week is such an important yet sensitive time for so many of our community, and we’ve included a short round up of a few events and different ways to mark the week or remember a loss.
Here’s a few ideas of how you could take part:
Join the Wave of Light
You can join the annual Global Wave of Light to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week by lighting a candle on 15th October at 7pm (UK time) - and leave it burning for one hour in memory of every baby who lit up our lives for a short time.
To help spread awareness, you could also take a photo or video clip of your candle burning and post it to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using #WaveOfLight
