Light & Unite for Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day
Light & Unite is Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas’ annual remembrance gathering for families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. Each year we come together with bereaved parents, loved ones, and community members to honor the babies who are deeply loved and always remembered.
Our gathering takes place on Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day, October 15, when communities around the world participate in the International Wave of Light—a candle-lighting ceremony that moves across time zones in quiet solidarity. Families light candles, share space with others who understand loss, and take a moment to remember their babies together.
Join us at Schenley Plaza for a gentle, family-friendly evening of community, memorial art, music, light, and Pittsburgh’s 7:00 p.m. Wave of Light. Guests are invited to wear white.
Light & Unite offers a gentle space to pause, remember, and gather with others who understand. The event is organized and hosted by Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas, a local nonprofit providing free bereavement care and photography to families experiencing pregnancy or newborn loss.
