Losing a mom creates a deep vacancy in your heart and soul that cannot be filled. Raising kids as a mother without your own mother to guide you is a difficult and lonely experience. There's often so many experiences and moments-- especially in those early months and years-- that you yearn to share with your mom, situations you want to consult her on, or times where you just need a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.
Parenthood in the wake of losing your mother can be very isolating, as many other parents don't understand what you're feeling or experiencing. But you are not alone.
Facilitated by Grief and Loss coaches Krista Kirkpatrick-Hatch and Kim Watts, the Motherless Mothers Monthly Meetup aims to connect motherless mothers to build a supportive network of people who understand where you're at-- because they've been there, too.
*Please note: this gathering is not meant to provide formal coaching or counselling services to participants. It is simply a way to connect motherless mothers with one another. If you are in need of mental health support, please reach out to a professional. If you are in crisis, please reach out to the Distress Centre.
Are You Prepared? Advance Care Planning Workshop
Date: Saturday, November 21, 2026
Time: 10:00am-12:00pm
Location: It will be at one of the Calgary Public Library locations, exact location TBD.
Have you ever thought to yourself: I need to create a plan in case something happens to me?
Maybe you know of someone who unexpectedly got sick, wasn't prepared with a care plan, and their wishes weren't followed in the hospital. Maybe you were that person, yourself. Or maybe you have been putting off creating a care plan because of the fear or sadness that the whole process brings along with it.
These scenarios are nobody's fault. We live in a society where the illness, injury, and death are taboo subjects. Creating a plan is not only a good idea to be prepared, but it is necessary to ensure that your wishes are followed should you ever find yourself in a situation where you cannot speak or advocate for yourself.
The intention of this workshop is to create peace of mind in a safe and judgment-free space. Here, you can learn the basics about advance care planning and start to consider areas of care that are important to you.
