Parenting Through Loss

🎄 Grief & the Holidays 🎄

The holidays can be a mix of emotions — joy, nostalgia, love, and sometimes, a quiet ache for those who aren’t here. ❤️

This November and December, our Parenting Through Loss meetings will focus on “Grief & the Holidays” — finding ways to honor what was, embrace what is, and make space for whatever this season brings.

Whether this is your first holiday after loss or you’ve walked through many, this space is for you. Some of us are holding on to old traditions, some are creating new ones, and some are just trying to make it through — and all of that is okay. 🍂✨

🗓 Saturday, November 15th & December 13th
⏰ 10:00 AM
📍 Southwest Center – Texarkana

Come as you are — festive, fragile, or somewhere in between. 💛

🧥❄️ Winter Clothing Needed for Our Recovery Home ❄️👟
As the colder months settle in, we’re reaching out to our community for help. Our women at the recovery home are in need of winter clothing—especially jackets, shoes, and warm layers.
If you have gently used or new items to donate, we’d be so grateful. Every contribution helps keep someone warm and supported on their journey to healing.
Contact Lissa @ 903-475-6793 or Courtney @ 903-559-3744
Thank you for being part of the love and care that makes this place feel like home.

🍂 Fall, Feelings… and Parenting Woes! 🍂

Parenting is beautiful… but let’s be real — it can also be a lot. 😅
This month’s Parenting Through Loss meeting is all about laughing a little, venting a little, and connecting with people who truly get it.

Whether you’re juggling homework battles, teen attitudes, or just trying to keep everyone fed and alive — this one’s for you. 💛

🗓 Saturday, November 15th
⏰ 10:00 AM
📍 Southwest Center – Texarkana

Come as you are — tired, caffeinated, over it, or all of the above. Let’s talk through the real stuff together. 🍁✨

If your family needs help putting food on the table right now, please know — you’re not alone.

While we can’t feed 42 million Americans, we’ll do our best to serve families right here in Texarkana. Because no parent should have to worry about feeding their children, and no family should ever go hungry.

It doesn’t matter what side of the table you fall on when it comes to politics — this is about real people and making sure our neighbors are cared for.

If we can help just one family, that’s what we’ll do.
And if your organization wants to partner with us, we’d love to connect. Together, we can make a real difference.

🎀 This Saturday — Breast Cancer Walk at Texas A&M–Texarkana 🎀

Our Parenting Through Loss group will be joining the Tough Kookie Breast Cancer Race to walk together in honor, hope, and community. 💪🏽✨

📅 Saturday, October 18
⏰ 8:00 AM
📍 Texas A&M–Texarkana

We’ll be walking — no pressure, just showing up, supporting a cause that matters, and moving together as a community. If you want to join us, drop a comment or message me. 💗

Next month, we’re taking our healing journey beyond the walls of a meeting room and into our community — because healing can happen while walking. 💗

Parenting Through Loss will be showing up for the 5th Annual Katina R. Levingston Breast Cancer Race on Saturday, October 18th at Texas A&M University–Texarkana.

Although the team registration deadline has passed, we can still participate individually — and I’ll be covering the registration costs for anyone who wants to join us. This is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to move our bodies, connect with one another, support a meaningful cause, and remind ourselves that healing doesn’t just happen when we sit and talk — it can happen with every single step forward.

We won’t meet in person again until November 15th, but I hope to see many of you walking alongside me next month as we support our community and continue healing together. 💪🏽💗

If you’d like to join us, comment below or message me today and I’ll make sure you’re signed up!

Heads up, friends! 💛
A reminder! We will not be meeting in person at the Southwest Center today.

🗓 Today (Saturday)
⏰ 8:00 AM
📍 Starts at 300 Olive St., Texarkana

If you’re coming, send a quick message or look for us at the start—we’d love to walk with you. 🌿

💛 This month’s Parenting Through Loss gathering will look a little different… we’re taking self-care into ACTION!

Instead of meeting at the Southwest Center, we’ll be joining the Do the Haven Hustle 5K as a group. This is a great way for us to keep working toward the health and self-care goals we set earlier this year, while also supporting something local in our community. 🌿

✨ I’m sponsoring a team of four, so if you’d like to join us, let me know!
✨ We’ll be walking the 5K together (though if you’d like to run, you absolutely can).
✨ This is about connection, community, and taking steps forward — literally.

📅 Saturday, September 20th
⏰ 8:00 AM

Let’s do this together! Comment or message me if you want a spot on the team.

🌟 Exciting update for our next Parenting Through Loss meeting! 🌟

Instead of our regular sit-down session, we’re taking self-care into action by joining the Do the Haven Hustle 5K & Car Show on Saturday, September 20th at 8am.

At the beginning of the year, we talked a lot about prioritizing our health and finding ways to be active—and this is a great way to put those goals into practice together, while also supporting a local cause right here in our community.

✨ Here’s the best part: I’m sponsoring a team of four! ✨
If you’d like to join, just let me know and we’ll get you signed up. Don’t worry—we’ll be walking the course together (though if you’d like to run, you absolutely can!).

This is about community, connection, and taking a step—literally—toward self-care. 💙

📅 Date: Saturday, September 20
📍 Location: Starts at 300 Olive St, Texarkana
🕗 Time: 8am

Let’s show up for ourselves and each other. Comment below or message me if you want to be on our sponsored team!
