Baby Loss Awareness Week

9th - 15th October 2024

We are here for you this Baby Loss Awareness Week

Baby Loss Awareness Week, October 9th - 15th 2024 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.
