'Wave of Light' event held this evening to mark BLAW

It will also be live streamed on social media for those who cannot attend

It's the final day of Baby Loss Awareness Week and it will be marked by a special event in Douglas tonight. (Tuesday 15 October)

The annual week enables families to come together and remember all babies and infants.

The Wave of Light this evening is for all those who have lost a baby or a child. 

Helen Sheppard from the Manx Charity, A Little Piece of Hope, says because baby loss is still a taboo subject, events like this show parents it's okay to share their stories:

The Wave of Light will be held on Douglas Promenade this evening from 6.30pm opposite the Tower of Refugee. 

It will also be live streamed on social media for those who cannot attend.
