In June of 2022, we hit the ground running to establish our Edmonton Mamas for Mamas branch. The Edmonton community has provided strong and embracing support which has enabled us to start supporting our Edmonton (and surrounding) communities. We are considered a satellite branch as we have not yet secured a permanent location (coming soon!). We have our mobile Karma Markets throughout the year and advertise those events on our social media to keep the community aware.

“Grief is an emotional experience and no matter how hard society tries to act as if sad feelings don’t exist – THEY DO” -author unknown
At Mamas for Mamas we offer a program for Grief and Loss. We recognize that Grief is a difficult and lonely journey. Our goal is to offer support and companionship to mamas that have experienced loss. Loss comes in many shapes and forms, but the one thing it has in common, is pain; whether it is lost through miscarriage, stillborn, loss of infant or child, a life partner, friend, parent or sibling. No one should have to grieve this kind of pain alone.
Through this 6 week Grief and Loss Support Group, we offer support as you gain an understanding of the stages of grief and coping techniques on your grief journey. The group was designed with the purpose of creating a safe and intimate space for each individual to begin their healing journey. This is a safe place where we provide support for each other and provide the opportunity to experience new ways to understand your own grieving process and how to move forward in a new normal that you did not ask for.
This group is facilitated by a registered counselor.
