ESTABLISH YOUR OWN MOM'S GROUP
I'm not really sure how to go about telling other mom's about setting up something like we have been doing, except, that it is so beneficial, that you do.......
Just do it!
Gather together, a group of a few mom's who have gone through this and throw out your ideas about getting together.
As in my case,I just contacted those ladies I knew who had lost children, and invited them to my beach house in March.
You can contact a B&B ahead of time and rent a house for the weekend, or some other place, for a weekend.It doesn't matter where you are........
It's just that you do it, and get together and begin to heal......
and heal, you will!
It's important not to force your beliefs on the other mom's, but to let the healing take place on its own. My faith is so instrumental in me, that it shines through, and it does play a big part in each of these other ladies, which is probably why so much healing has taken place.
Give them time to talk about their child. That's why we have placed a special area up on the breakfront, where each mom can place their child's picture and other special "things."
We know that we can laugh and talk all weekend,if we want about our "sons", and no-one will fuss, and that's the healthy part.Then, we are recharged for a good while.
This has been an unbreakable bond for us, and I do hope some of you, who read this, will start your very own mom's group.
I hate that mom's have to do this, but I'd rather you do it with the support of other mom's nearby, than by yourself......
Go for it!
You can leave a comment to me here at this sight for more information.......

I am one of those Moms who lost a son and fortunately was connected through a friend to this wonderful group of "momswholostchildren". I have been blessed to be in the company of these fine Christian ladies at Edisto Beach 3 times so far. Each time our group grows and becomes closer as we share and support one another in this walk that we all have in common. I lost my son 4 years ago. The pain will never ever leave you but with the help of these ladies I have been able to cope with my loss in a better way. Thank you Becky for having the foresight and the courage to begin such a noble and helpful ministry. I know I speak for us all when I say we love you!

I am another one of those "moms" who is eternally and bountifully blessed by being apart of this amazing group of women. Each one offers such a well spring of wisdom, strength and love on every encounter we experience at the beach. God has truly remained the centerpiece and our children the guests of honor in our gatherings. It is such an endowment of strength to be able to fellowship with like believers in the midst of such incredible hardship and pain. It is a true testimony to God's healing touch and continued mercy upon each and every one of our lives. He is amazingly faithful and true which is evident in each friendship he has established though this precious time together come Spring and Fall....
Each "mom" has a special place and everlasting footprint in my heart.
