Ya-Ya Moms

Ya-Ya Moms is B.I.G. Love’s group for bereaved moms. Our goal is to offer compassion, support, validation and friendship to moms who have lost a child to childhood cancer. We hope to establish friendships that will help us survive and thrive as we navigate life after the loss of our precious children. This is a tough road, but you are not alone.

We are planning to meet once a month in different locations to connect with other moms on this journey--for advice, a listening ear, and understanding of the many facets of grief after losing a child.

In an effort to promote fellowship, we will meet at different venues—sometimes for dinner, other times for a movie, bowling, or even a picnic at a park.

B.I.G. Love Cancer Care will cover the expenses of each outing to make sure bereaved moms in the area have the opportunity to foster these new friendships and make lasting connections.
