What
This one-day retreat is offered at no charge and provides an opportunity to meet the unique needs of a couple grieving the death of their child age 29 or younger.
Why
Grief counselors will provide education about the differences in how men and women grieve, while allowing couples to explore their own grief processes. Activities will encourage communication and partnership, provide opportunities for sharing their child’s story and foster a sense of hope.
This retreat will also create a sense of community where couples who have experienced the death of a child can find strength and support from one another.
Due to the nature of this retreat, space is limited and registration is required. Please call early to reserve your place.
