I am a lover of festivals and events. I created this group to bring other single parents together to have fun. So often the daily grind and stress of being a single parent can take its toll, what better way to take a break than to meet with like minded people and celebrate life to the fullest. I attend events like the Tomato Throwing Festival, Chili Feeds, and other unique social events and it has always been a way for me to take a step back and realize that for me to be a better parent, I need …

I started this group because I'm tired of feeling awkward in other moms' groups where childloss is not understood.  I'm tired of grieving silently.  I'm tired of pretending I only have two children (instead of 3) in order to make others feel more comfortable. I'm tired of hiding my pain and putting a smile on my face. I'm tired of pretending like I'm a normal mom when I'm not: I'm a bereaved mom and nothing will ever be 'normal' again. Bereaved Mamas is a compassionate and healing group for ber …
