If you are here because you know this type of loss
I want to first say, I am so deeply sorry. Though our experiences and grief will look different, they are rooted deeply in our love for our baby. You are welcomed here and I’m glad you found us, and we found you.
So who is this community for? Any mama who has experienced loss through miscarriages, ectopic pregnancy, TFMR, stillbirth, infant loss, or child loss.
This community was created and built to ensure families, especially moms of loss can have a place where they can be held.
If you are here because you feel called to the mission
Thank you for choosing us to offer your time, talent, or treasure.
ATX Loss Mama was founded in 2024 by Elaine Nguyen after a personal loss of her own with her son Lando at 35 weeks. During this time of acute grief, she witnessed firsthand how a community and space for bereaved families, specifically bereaved mothers, were nonexistent in the Austin community. Resources were limited, fragmented or came at a premium cost because of this unique grief, which creates further barriers for the families who need the support to receive the help. ATX Loss Mama aims to provide a community with accessible resources through monthly mom walks, support circles, special events, and online community.
