Thursday, Oct 15 — Pregnancy loss affects approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies each year in Ireland, including Traveller and Roma women.
“We remember all the babies who have been lost and born sleeping, may their souls rest in heavenly peace and may God comfort their loved ones on this day of remembrance” – Valerie O’Leary and Maria McDonnell, Pavee Mothers.
As part of the Global Wave of Light on 15th October, we join families around the world in lighting a candle at 7pm as a gesture of remembrance.
