Question
How does the 'Wave of Light' event facilitated by Katy Huie Harrison help build community support for families experiencing infant loss?
Answer
The 'Wave of Light' event, facilitated by me, Katy Huie Harrison, is a virtual remembrance ceremony that takes place during Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. It's a global event where families light candles at 7pm local time, creating a wave of light across the globe for 24 hours. This act of unity helps to build community support by bringing together families who have experienced similar losses.
During the ceremony, I read aloud the names of babies lost to any type of pregnancy or infant loss. This act of remembrance not only honors the babies, but also validates the experiences and feelings of the families. By sharing this event on social media platforms, it allows others to join in, broadening the community and raising awareness.
