🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: WAVE OF LIGHT RESCHEDULED TO TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20 🩷💙

Due to the forecast of significant rainfall this week, Bridget's Cradles | Miscarriage, Stillbirth, & Infant Loss has made the difficult decision to reschedule Wave of Light from Thursday, October 15, to Tuesday, October 20.

And this evening of remembrance is simply too special to cancel if we have another option. 💜

While the new date will no longer fall on October 15, you can still gather during Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month to honor and remember our precious babies in Heaven.

✨ NEW EVENT DATE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2026 ✨

What you need to know:

🩷 Already registered? Your registration will automatically carry over to the new date. No need to register again!

💙 Haven’t registered yet? Please join! Register at bridgetscradles.com/waveoflight.

💙 Unable to attend on the new date? No action is needed. We are so sorry we will miss you!

The date may be changing, but the mission remains the same: to shine a light in remembrance of babies in Heaven and bring hope to grieving families. 🕯️

Hope to see you Tuesday, October 20, for a beautiful evening of remembrance, love, and hope.

Early one October night a few years ago, we noticed an unexpected pumpkin waiting for us as we were getting ready for dinner. Walking outside we found that this pumpkin wasn’t a trick, but rather a sweet treat from one of our neighbors explaining that we had been Booed and it was now our turn to pass it on. This began my love affair with Booing my neighbors to kick off the Halloween season.

What is a BOO you may ask? 👻
