Thoughts going through her head this holiday season:
I lost a baby and my world has turned upside down
How will I have the courage to keep going day in and day out for the next 2 months?
I'm so overwhelmed by the thought of celebrating Thanksgiving or Christmas without my baby in my arms
My faith is complicated. Sometimes it feels absent & untidy, and others times stronger than ever. I'm feeling mixed emotions about this holiday season
I want to create space for joy, hope, and my grief before 2024 comes to an end
I need hope, support, and community over the holiday season from women who get it with women who get it

FAQ
WHO IS INVITED TO JOIN?
If you are a mom who is grieving following the loss of a baby at any point in pregnancy or infancy, there is a place for you here. Whether your grief is fresh or seasoned over time, we think you'll find this space to be refreshing, honest, and full of hope.
WHERE & WHEN WILL THE SESSIONS BE HELD?
Every Sunday at 8pm EST from November 17-December 15, she will find us on Zoom for a 60-minute live video call. She will receive a link to our private Zoom room upon confirmation of her enrollment in the Holiday Support Group.
WHAT IF SHE CAN'T MAKE A SESSION LIVE?
No problem! We know that in the holiday season, you may need to miss a session, and that's okay! Technology permitting (occasionally there are glitches), we will be recording each live call to be shared with the group so that if you are unable to join us, you can still listen in at your convenience to the discussion.
WHAT WILL THE SESSIONS BE LIKE?
Each week we will focus our conversation on topics relevant to the grieving mom such as traditions, faith, navigating social events, and more. Facilitated by grief coaches Ashlee Proffitt and Meg Walker, you will have the opportunity to share, listen, ask questions, offer advice, and feel supported in a safe and comfortable environment.
IS THIS FAITH BASED?
Yes. While the discussions will be themed around a variety of topics, we believe true hope is found in Jesus. We know that faith can be complicated after the loss of a baby and wherever you are - whether you're not sure what you believe or you're even stronger in your faith than ever - you and your wrestlings are welcome.

Just two weeks shy of Thanksgiving, my son Aaden died. I would walk through that holiday season in a fog of grief and perceived expectations.
I needed someone who had been there, another mom who had experienced a similar loss to grab me by the hand and help me navigate the uncertainty and pain of the season.
I needed another grieving mom to tell me it was ok to not feel thankful at Thanksgiving and to not feel merry at Christmas. I needed another mom to show me how to honor my son, to include him in our family traditions so I didn't feel like I was moving on without him as I sat at yet another holiday family meal.
I would love an opportunity to walk with you through this holiday season, easing the burden of grief just a bit – helping you find joy even in the mourning.
Meg Walker
grief Coach & group facilitator, the morning team
Three months before Thanksgiving, I received a life-limiting diagnosis for my oldest son, Jacob. It was my first holiday season in deep grief. The next year, 10 months after his death, I lost another baby during my first trimester a few weeks before Christmas. I was devastated. Wrecked. Numb.
In those seasons and the years that have followed, I have wrestled with the holidays. However, I have also found joy and hope. I know how hard the holidays can be in grief, and I'm here to be a listening ear, to offer practical suggestions, and to create space for you wherever you are in your grief journey over the holidays.
I am honored to be invited in to your story and to offer you encouragement, compassion, and hope this holiday season.
“I loved the devotional/workbook and the corresponding daily recording that Ashlee put together. And of course connecting with other women who understood what I was going through was invaluable to me.”
