Holiday Support Call

November 25, 2014

invitation - pixabayYou’re invited!

You’re probably seeing these words pop into your inbox or land in your mailbox as we head towards the “festive” holiday season. Invitations to family gatherings, company parties, and get-togethers with friends can seem more like a burden than a gift when you’re facing the holidays without the children you’d hoped to have.

So, I’m inviting you to an altogether different kind of gathering this season—an invitation to spend the holidays with friends.

Please join me for the Life Without Baby Holiday Support Call on Tuesday, December 9th, at 6:00pm PDT.

We’ll gather by phone for an hour or so to discuss the issues you’re facing this holiday season, share tips and ideas for making it through, and, perhaps most important of all, spend some safe time with people who understand that this might not always be “the most wonderful time of the year.”

During the call I’ll answer your burning questions and provide a safe space to talk with one another. And if this sounds like your worst nightmare, you’re also invited to come along and just listen. Unlike other holiday gatherings, you won’t need to feel you have to mingle.

If you can’t make the call or if you don’t feel you’re ready to join in, you can also get a recording of the call to listen to on your own time.

However you’d like to participate, you can sign up for the call here. It’s free to attend. Once you’re registered, you’ll receive the private call-in information, instructions on submitting topics and questions, as well as the recording after the call.

I hope you’ll join me and not go through this difficult time of year alone.

    I’m not sure that I’ll be able to attend, but thank you, Lisa, for providing this for us. I’m sure it will be very reassuring and helpful, and the offer is much appreciated.

    I would love to join this call but not sure what time this would be in the UK (GMT) which I think makes this call at around 2:00 am on 10th December in the UK? I might still go for it as I have alot of sleepless nights these days (may need to see how work is going nearer the time). Please confirm however – such a good idea.
    Thank you
    Jane

      Hi Jane,
      Yes, I’m afraid that 6pm my time is 2am for you. I’m hoping for a good night’s sleep for you. The call will be recorded, so you can at least listen in afterwards, and you can submit a question or topic if there’s something specific you’d like to hear discussed.

    I have a chorus concert that evening, but if possible I would like a recording or access to the recording. What a great idea!

      Supersassy,
      Sorry you can’t join us. Go ahead and sign up and that way you’ll automatically get the link to the recording.
      ~Lisa
