The meeting in July will be on Tuesday, returning to the 1st Thursday in August.
This group meets the 1st Thursday of the month at 8 p.m. Eastern.
Whether you are the surviving moms, step-moms, or grandmothers of a military loved one within 18 months of your loss, you belong.
We request you sign up at least 24 hours before you attend your first session so that we can ensure the integrity of the group and answer any questions you may have. Sign up is required only once!
The 1st Thursday of each month is a time to gather with your peers. Please join us in this safe space for new to grief surviving moms to share, learn, grow, heal, and connect.
TAPS wants you to know that you are not alone in your journey. The healing power of sharing with someone who can relate to precisely what you're going through because she experienced it too can make a defining difference. Strangers quickly become friends - a knowing look, a knowing of the heart connects us, even if we've never met before. No matter our circumstances, who we are, or how different we are, there is no greater bond than the connection between moms who understand enduring the loss of a child.
Join us and our team of surviving mom facilitators as we all explore topics such as: uniqueness of your grief; who am I now; selfcare tools; and more.
"If you cannot see where you are going, ask someone who has been there before.” - J. Loren Norris

What to Expect
Online groups are peer-led, facilitated sessions where there’s never pressure to share, but always an opportunity. Whether you attend once or regularly, you will always be welcomed. We value the importance of knowing that there are “places” we can show up and feel supported and inspired, and you can decide to connect with us every week or whenever it’s convenient or compelling.
Please remember that, while we anticipate that these groups will become engaging, encouraging community gathering “places,” you never have to wait if you need to talk. We’re always here for you, 24 hours, 7 days a week, year-round, at 800-959-TAPS (8277).
