Angela Hadfield (She/Her)
Bereaved Parent / Parenting After Loss Support Group Facilitator
1) Describe briefly how you got involved with Empty Arms.
I be came involved in Empty Arms in the fall of 2023. I lost my son, Henry in July and moved my family from VA to MA in August. I knew that I needed to connect with others who experienced the same type of loss, and was so lucky to come across the website for Empty Arms. I reached out via email and attended my first meeting in September. The support groups have been such a critical part of my healing and I do not know where I would be without Empty Arms.
2) What makes you most proud of the work we do/What do you like most about Empty Arms?
I love how large the community is, because it allows us to connect with others with very similar stories to our own. Everyone can find a place that fits them at their specific point in their grief journey.
3) Share a passion in your life and/or work outside of EABS.
Outside of EABS, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 daughters, Julia and Hannah. We love to travel as a family, especially to Disney World! I also work full time as a finance director for Nightwing which brings me back to VA monthly.
Angela is located in Mendon, MA.
