Save the Date: Worldwide Candle Lighting on December 14

In less than a week, The Compassionate Friends host Worldwide Candling Lighting.

The heart of the event: “Light a candle for all children who have died… that their light may always shine.”

The Worldwide Candle Lighting will take place Sunday, December 14, 2014 at 7pm creating a wave of light around the globe.

The Compassionate Friends is an organization that supports families after the death of a child at any age. I attended their National Conference this past summer and it proved to be a very kind and thoughtful community.

The organization encourages bereaved families to light a candle for one hour to “honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon.”
