WILLEMSTAD - On Curaçao, the first candlelight vigil was held yesterday by the organization Stichting Our Angels Journey. The event was part of the commemorative month focused on the grief of pregnancy loss and the loss of infants. On Saturday, October 5, the foundation will host its annual seminar, which will center on "Naming as a Tribute to Pregnancy, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss." The foundation is calling for greater awareness of this sensitive topic, which often remains overlooked in society.
According to the foundation, there is often little attention given to the grief of parents who have lost their babies, and the suffering remains hidden. Stichting Our Angels Journey is urging all businesses on Curaçao to light their buildings in pink and blue this month to raise awareness.
