February is a month we set aside to celebrate those we love. Let's take some time to honor our child we miss so much. I really like hearing about your child and learning more about the special people they were. This month let's share about our child that are always in our heart. We encourage you to come, bring a picture and share a treasured memory of your child. Talking about our child helps our hearts to heal.

We will also be offering our meeting on Zoom again this month. It's not the same as being in person, but it's a good alternative for those not comfortable to attend. Last month we all found it to be pretty good. It will start at 7:30 and last for approximately 40 minutes.
To get the meeting number and password you will need to send me a personal message. We want to keep our meeting exclusive to only mother's with loss.

We look forward to seeing you.

Thinking about each of you as the holidays are near. Each year without our child comes with different challenges. We are here for you if there's anything you need help with.

You are invited to a relaxing brunch as we gather together for our December meeting. We warmly welcome and compassionately support the mother's that may be experiencing the holidays with out their child for the first time. We understand how hard it is. It will also be wonderful to have some time with the special mothers that we have been connected with as we each travel on our journey of grief.

We've planned for each of you to make a special ornament in memory of your child. You may bring a small picture or something to add.

We will make efforts to social distance to help everyone stay healthy

We hope you can join us for a time to relax and support each other as we all search for "peace" during this special season.

Please RSVP by December 1 if possible.

Sending you all a big hug 🤗

This month we have planned to do something very different. We invite you to communicate with grief as though it has a personality of its own. We would like you to write a letter from you to your grief. Before you start writing, ask yourself:. If I could tell my grief what I'm thinking and feeling, what would I say? What do I want my grief to know about it's impact on my life? Be as frank as you can. Please bring your letter to the meeting.

We look forward to seeing each of you.

Sending hugs,
Kim and Yvonne

Do you remember life before grief? As we grieve the loss of our child we feel sadness, anger, guilt, helpless and so much more. Do you wonder if you will ever experience joy again? At our meeting this month let's talk about joy and see if we can find little moments of joy amidst our grief. The greater our ability to experience joy while we're grieving, the greater our ability to move through grief. We hope you can join us.

Bringing joy back into our lives begins with the ability to be more present in life. When our grief is quieter it is easier not to be distracted by thoughts of the past or worries of the present. These thoughts take us out of the present moment and take away our ability to experience joy.

Joy can provide precious moments of respite from our grief, and help us cultivate a deeper sense of gratitude for what we still have in our life. While being present with grief, begin to live intentionally for acceptance and healing.

Allow yourself to find joy

Grieving the loss of a child comes with so many mixed emotions. Sometimes I find it helpful to "do" something to honor and show love for my child.

This month we will make a "memory light" in memory of your child.
You will need to bring a few favorite pictures of your child printed on regular copy paper.
The pictures can be 4 x 6 or smaller.
Also, look for special sayings you like and type them up.
You may also bring some small items that represent your child and portray his/her character.
If you don't have pictures of your baby that was lost in utero, try to be creative. We will have a few things to help.
We will supply everything else you will need for the project.

You may find doing a project like this to be a good way to calm your anxious heart.
We hope to see you.

Sending hugs your way,
Kim and Yvonne

We are now able to join together again.
We have missed you.

Memories are Good. Let's share a special memory of your child that makes you smile, or even laugh. We will release a balloon in memory of your child. Is there something you want to say to your child but never got the chance? Be thinking of what you might like to write on your balloon.

Congratulations to Kaemyn. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on May 5.

We hope to see you.

Spring is really here. 🌞 I saw a beautiful buttercup. The sunshine does so many amazing things. It makes me feel so good. Hope you're enjoying it too.

Leaning on the side of caution, we have decided to CANCEL the April get together due to the COVID-19. We want to help each of you to stay healthy and do our part in reducing the spread of the virus.

Yvonne is available if you are needing to talk with someone. She is here for you and wants to help in any way she can. Also, we encourage you to be in touch with other Moms that you have connected with. It can be helpful to stay connected and be supportive to each other.

Sending our love, support and hugs your way.

Take care,
Yvonne and Kim 💞

The death of our is child is devastating. The overwhelming suffering and intense emotions we feel will flood the days, weeks and years following our loss is called grief.

The grief journey has many emotional peaks and valleys. It resembles the ups and downs of a roller coaster for which our society does not recognize nor understand. We may have a mix of emotions that includes anger, guilt or regrets, fear or anxiety, emptiness, sadness and depression. Each person's grief journey is as unique as their finger print.

Our topic for the meeting in March will be about sadness and depression. Do you know the difference? They are similar in many ways, but have some distinct differences.

We look forward to seeing each of you.

Sending our love, support and big hugs.

February is a month with a special day set aside to celebrate and express our feelings to those we love and care about. As we meet this month, we encourage you to come and share a special quality about your child, and bring a picture if you want. For those who didn't get a chance to know your baby, try to imagine a quality they may have had.

Also, please bring a card with caring words of encouragement to give to another Mom. Let's make this a special time to show our love and support to each other. We can visit and have some fun treats together.

Love is the greatest gift 💞

We will begin the new year by talking about grief journaling. Through journaling, we take small but honest steps forward, which is the only way through grief. We can't side step the work of grieving and healing. It is truly hard work and heart ❤️ work.

Every great loss demands that we choose life again. We need to grieve in order to do this. Grieving allows us to heal--to remember with Love rather than pain. Journaling is one way of allowing ourselves the space for genuine healing to take place. We can remember our child and express our feelings as we rebuild.

We hope you can join us as we join together to support each other, and learn about a tool to help our Hearts heal.
