N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Wave of Light is a time for families who’ve experienced infant loss and miscarriage to share in their sorrow and support each other. Wave of Light is an international event, recognized in six countries.

This year’s event is set for Sunday, Oct. 15 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Jamestown.

“Thirty years ago, if families experienced a miscarriage or infant death, they were told to forget it,” said Renae Lunde. Lunde is a registered nurse at Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s Family BirthPlace. She is also one of the event’s organizers. “Today, we encourage families to grieve in the way that best fits them.”

Wave of Light occurs each year on October 15. Nearly 30 individuals attended the event in Jamestown in 2016. This year, the event include a short walk, a candle lighting ceremony and blessings for families. If families need support year round, they may contact the Jamestown Area Grief Support Team.

The Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is a group of volunteers who offer to support to those who grieve. The group organizes regular educational events and support groups to the community.
