Nashville, Tenn. – Roberta Baines Wheeler Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Group (RBW) is hosting its inaugural “Her Life Our Legacy Jazz Brunch” May 20, 2017 at Alive Hospice located at 1718 Patterson Street, Nashville, TN. This special event was planned to help those who are mourning the loss of their mother have a positive outlet and a day to celebrate their parent’s life.
RBW Executive Director, Dr. Katherine Y. Brown, along Angela Mitchell Hill, Tammy Hines, Luvenia Harrison, and Allyson Young, found that Mother’s Day has a different meaning after the loss of a mother. They found that it is an important part of the healing process to come together and honor the legacy of their mothers with the community.
“Losing your mother is a journey that in some instances is unique to those who have experienced it,” explained Dr. Brown. “This event is celebrating the lives of mothers who have passed and developing a healthy community of shared experiences.”
The event includes brunch, mimosas, live jazz by the Tyronn Hamilton Trio, and remarks from Fox 17 News reporter Toni Fitzgerald. Award-winning journalist of Fox 17 News Harriet Wallace will be delivering the keynote address.
The itinerary for the day includes a Butterfly Release, the “Her Life, Our Legacy” brunch, and a Rose Ceremony Tribute.
Angela Mitchell Hill, CEO of event sponsor NáSah’s Nail Salon, believes that this event can be a helpful way for others to heal together. “My mother taught me everything except how to live without her,” said Hill. “This journey of growth while grieving has lead me to this point of sharing memories and miles with others who truly understand.”
“Her Life, Our Legacy” Jazz Brunch is free to the community. To register to attend please visit www.herlifeourlegacy.eventbrite.com. To have one’s mother’s name included in the Rose Ceremony Tribute please email her information to RBWPHAwarenessday@yahoo.com.
