Testimonials

There are so many changes that are continuing to unravel for me on a daily basis. But the biggest shift for me is that I no longer feel this giant hole of my daughter's absence every second of every day, and now it has been replaced with feeling her presence. I had always felt that she was here with me, but the feeling of her absence overshadowed that most of the time. Before our retreat, her death was always present for me, now I can remember her life with joy.

This is such a powerful model that really and truly goes deep to the core of a grieving parent. It creates space and lets in air and light to such a deep dark place.

If I were to talk to a parent, I would say that this experience can be kind of like an off-ramp of your grief onto a new road where you can live with it. It gives you insight into your pain. It allows you to live with the pain because you've seen it, you've given it shape and form. For me, I can't imagine not having done this retreat. I would absolutely not be where I am now without it.

It was like nothing I’ve ever expected to connect on such an emotional level to others.  The words and emotions expressed by the other mothers were so many times exactly what was inside of me, that just blew me away and the connections were just so deep.
