Join Let the Light In and OhioHealth Loss and Healing Services for Gather, Create, Remember: A Wave of Light Event on October 15, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

Beginning at 6:00 pm, you'll have the opportunity to create either a customized glass lantern or a decorative acrylic heart honoring your baby followed by space for reflection and community while memorializing your loss during the Wave of Light hour from 7-8pm.

The International Wave of Light globally recognizes pregnancy and infant loss. Beginning with the first time zone, at 7:00 pm, illuminations and candles lit remain for one hour until the next time zone takes over, moving westward and creating a Wave of Light worldwide.
