Kirkwood Presbyterian Church is honored to host Broken to Beautiful, a monthly activity-based support and connection community for mothers who have experienced the loss of a child at any age.

This is not a traditional grief support group or therapy setting. Rather, it is a gentle, relational space centered on companionship, shared activities, and living life alongside other mothers who understand this unique loss. Each gathering includes a brief opening devotional, followed by time for connection and community.

The group meets on the second Thursday of each month from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Gatherings may take place at Kirkwood Presbyterian Church or at off-site locations depending on the planned activity or outing.

We recognize that many congregations walk closely with families who are grieving, and our hope is that Broken to Beautiful may serve as a complementary support — offering continued care, understanding, and fellowship beyond the walls of any one church.

This gathering is offered in partnership with The Schuylar Barnes Foundation and is open to mothers throughout our community and Presbytery. Participation is not limited to Kirkwood members. Attendance is always optional, and no sharing or church membership is ever required.
