This retreat will offer time to share our stories and learn from each other as we find renewed hope for our journeys. We will talk about: - The grief process & differences in partnered grieving - Dealing with broken friendships/families - Finding meaning in our post-loss life This 3Hopeful Hearts couples retreat will be facilitated by bereaved parents- Erin and Dwight Hall.
Who is this retreat for?
We have designed this retreat to be for couples who have all experienced the life-altering event of losing a child. We hold this space for those who are strong in their relationship, for those who may be wavering, for those who are comfortable talking about loss and for those who would rather not share their story. This retreat is open to those who have experienced child loss recently and for those who have been walking this journey for a while. Each person, couple, and family experiences grief in different ways and through this retreat, we aim to recognize that although every story and experience is different, you all share the experience of losing your child.
What do we do at the retreat?
We gather at this retreat to connect and share our stories. We talk about our individual differences, the struggles of gender differences in grief, and the relationships that have changed due to our losses. We encourage an atmosphere of hope and purpose for our lives after loss.
This retreat is NOT:
This retreat is not a conference, workshop or group therapy session. We will interact through large-group discussions, personal and couple based introspection all while being in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
Each one of you has a unique story to share and ways that you have coped the loss of your child. We will lean on one another to work through the challenges, highs and lows, and surprising joys that can come from such a devastating life event.
We hope you will join us!
