CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Tender Moments Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Group offers several events every year that are free to the community for anyone that has lost a pregnancy, baby, or child of any age.
Cindy Sexton started the group after losing her baby Sexton on December 12, 2005 to ruptured ectopic pregnancy at 10 weeks gestation. She found online support, but being able to host an in-person and online support group was very important to her healing.
She knew it would also help other local families who have lost a pregnancy, baby, or child.
Being able to sit with other families who understand the feelings that the family may be going through after the loss of a sweet baby is the best help the group can provide, according to Sexton.
“Personally it has helped me grieve and to allow others to be in a safe group is the greatest blessing,” she said.
Donations are always welcome to help pay for the supplies the group uses for the events.
The events include a Mother’s Day luncheon in May, an LED balloon release in October, and a Christmas Luncheon and ornament decorating event for children that have been lost in December.
“Love, compassion, and support are the best reactions to the support group,” Sexton said. “Having each other to talk, cry and hug as we walk this path of grief together and knowing you are not alone is very important.”
