Saint Mary’s to Launch Bereavement Support Group for Moms on April 12

Saint Mary’s is launching a new Bereavement Support Group for Moms, offering a compassionate space for mothers who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. The first gathering will take place on April 12 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Saint Mary’s Cafés, located at 1808 W Main Street in Russellville. 

Spanish support will be available at each session, and mothers are welcome to participate in either English or Spanish. The group is open to all mothers in the community, regardless of where they delivered or received their care.  

The group will be led by Nicole Sweet and Edith Magdaleno, two women who have personally experienced the pain of losing a child and who are passionate about supporting other mothers in their healing journeys. 

Saint Mary’s created this group as part of its commitment to caring for the emotional well‑being of families. Loss is often a quiet experience for many mothers, and community support can play a vital role in the healing process.

The April 12 session is open to any mother in the community who has faced pregnancy or infant loss at any stage. Attendees can expect a warm, informal environment where they can participate as much or as little as they feel comfortable, with guidance from leaders who deeply understand the journey of grief. 

Registration is not required. For more information, contact Nicole at 479.858.1139 or Edith at 479.647.2232.
