Dublin Airport and Shannon Airport have planned to illuminate in pink and blue on 15 October as part of the Global Wave of Light. The initiative marks the conclusion of Baby Loss Awareness Week. The airports will remember babies who have died during pregnancy, at birth, or in infancy.
The Global Wave of Light takes place annually at 7.00pm local time on 15 October. Families light candles and landmarks are illuminated creating a continuous wave of remembrance. A Little Lifetime Foundation has welcomed the support of Dublin Airport for this year’s campaign. Thousands of people arrive in Ireland or set off on journeys through the airport daily.
For parents who have experienced the loss of a baby, seeing a prominent location illuminated can provide a moment of comfort. Families across Ireland will visit landmarks taking part in the Wave of Light. The participation of Dublin Airport and Shannon Airport ensures the aviation community plays a visible role in raising awareness of baby loss. The pink and blue lights will join hundreds of illuminated buildings around the world.
