The loss of a child affects not only the family but everyone in their support system. It affects us emotionally and spiritually in many ways for years.
Our church family has experienced this pain and from this it has brought to our attention the need in our community to support these families. In honor of our babies Braxton Waitman and Braxton Wells and many other babies we have formed this relief to bring hope and show God's love to families during this time. We provide aid to families who have experienced the loss of a baby through miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or early infant death. We want to provide emotional and spiritual support through a community of families that are on this journey with grief together.
Braxton’s Relief Remembrance Walk
Friday, October 4th, 2024 | 6:30pm
@ Compass Christian Church | 8137 Liberty Cir. Mechanicsville, VA 23111
The annual Braxton’s Relief Remembrance walk is a time to bring families and friends together that have experienced loss to remember and recognize their babies. Our babies may no longer be with us but are never forgotten. Together we can encourage each other and provide support through such a difficult time. Before the walk there will be a time of remembrance and prayer. We will read all the names of the babies gone too soon. Then we will light luminaries in honor of your child. We will have resources available that we find helpful in navigating the difficult grief process.
WAVE OF LIGHT
October 15th | 7pm
We encourage you to participate in the Wave of light at 7pm, in all time zones across the world, light a candle for all babies gone too soon.
