Worldwide Candle Lighting 2011



Here is information about this year's events for The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting. The Worldwide Candle Lighting occurs every 2nd Sunday in December at 7pm local time, all around the world, so you may want to go ahead and mark your calendar now. *smile*

The Compassionate Friends Remembrance Book

Thank you to all who stood with me, literally and figuratively, on this day, when I felt so strongly the bittersweet paradox of being one of many who gathered to remember children gone too soon and yet one of a few who understand what this means and why we keep speaking about our children who are no longer here. Thank you to those who (thankfully, truly) really do not understand this space that some of us now occupy, but are still willing to help to shine the light, and to speak their names.
