Baby Loss Awareness week runs from October 9th to the 15th and the Little Spirits Society of Cape Breton is having a Wave of Light event here in Port Hawkesbury.
The Port Hawkesbury Active Transportation bridge will be lit with pink and blue lights at the event and participants will be given glow sticks. This will begin at 6:30 PM on October 15th which is also Pregnancy and Infancy Loss Remembrance Day. “At 7PM, they ask people to either light a candle or put on pink or blue lights and leave it lit for a minimum of one hour, that way there’s a wave of light carried around the globe in each time zone.” Says Organizer and Little Spirits Society President and Co founder Christine Dowling.
Dowling herself lost two babies and started the Little Spirits Society to provide help to others on Cape Breton that suffered similar fates. They are currently looking for board members from Port Hawkesbury and Richmond County and people interested in joining are asked to email: littlespiritssociety@gmail.com
