4 Ways to Remember Your Child
October is a month of transformation, marked not only by falling leaves but also by a deeper purpose: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. It's a sacred time when we remember the tiny souls who graced our lives all too briefly, offer support to those bearing the heavy burden of loss, and seek solace in the promise of healing. In the midst of this journey, we find the Colorado Wave of Light—just one of the four significant ways to remember and honor our children during this month.
Attend the Colorado Wave of Light: Heaven Changes Everything
The Colorado Wave of Light is a remembrance event held this year at Focus on the Family, where families gather to share in the understanding of pregnancy and infant loss. This community comes together to honor the memories of their little ones, offering comfort and support to one another. It's a place where tears are met with empathy and healing begins in the company of those who've walked a similar path. Jesus adds the true opportunity to care for and guide people to healing, and this year’s message of Heaven Changes Everything will add depth and hope to hurting parents.
2. Light a Candle on Sunday, October 15: Illuminate the Darkness
On Sunday, October 15, join a global movement by lighting a candle at 7:00 p.m. This simple yet powerful act symbolizes the light of hope and remembrance. It's a moment to pause and honor the love you hold for your child. As you watch the candle's flame flicker, know that your child's memory burns just as brightly in your heart.
3. Start a Healing Journey with Our 7-Days of Hope Emails: Nourishing Your Spirit
Embarking on a healing journey requires support and guidance. Sign up for our 7 Days of Hope email series, specially designed to provide daily inspiration and encouragement. These emails offer a spiritual lifeline, reminding you of the promise of healing and the presence of a loving God. As you read each message, let the words of Scripture wash over you, soothing your soul and bringing you closer to the path of restoration.
After the initial week, you’ll receive an encouraging message from us every Friday to help support and guide you towards Jesus on your journey of healing.
4. Take Our Online Course: Nurturing Your Healing Process
Grief is a complex and deeply personal journey. To navigate it, we offer an online course designed to nurture your healing process. The Your Journey to Joy Course provides valuable insights, coping strategies, and a supportive community of fellow travelers on the road to healing. By learning to understand your grief and finding ways to heal with Jesus, you'll discover that while your child may be gone, Jesus can lead you through the pain towards health.
During Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we have the opportunity to remember, heal, and find hope. By attending the Colorado Wave of Light, lighting a candle on October 15, starting a healing journey with our 7-Days of Hope emails, and taking our online course, we honor our children's memory and move forward with resilience and faith. May this month remind us that Jesus offers us true healing after we’ve walked through loss that leads to growth and the incredible freedom of remembering while walking in health.
