Back by popular demand--This event is for TWO Tuesday dates in March 2024. Or just one. You can’t get rid of the pain of child loss but there are ways to lessen your suffering and we talk about strategies for that. You will be exposed to different strategies, and connect with others who know the same kind of loss. For bereaved parents and step-parents hosted by two bereaved parents. AnneMoss lost her 20-year-old son Charles to Suicide and Karla lost her 9-month-old baby, Theo to a brain tumor. (Bios at the bottom)
Price: $100 for One Attendee, $150 for Two Attendees (A Couple) for two 1.5-hour sessions on the two dates. Or $75 for one night.
March 12 we will cover “Finding Support” and what that looks like. And the second night is focused on “Mind Mapping” and how that helps you process your grief. Sign up as a single, a couple, or as a single/couple for only one night.

“For me, one of the most helpful things was hearing from parents who are further along on this journey than I am. Not only were there pearls of wisdom but also lots of validation for feeling exactly as I am and for understanding that I’m going to have those “knock me on my ass” moments forever–and that’s ok.”
