Living with Loss

£474

Have you been struggling since the death of your loved one?

Come and join with others who have also experienced life-changing loss through bereavement. The aim of this supported retreat is to help you cope with your grief. Through a creative variety of activities, including led sessions, discussions and quiet reflection, we explore the journey of grief, with a focus on finding a way forward in the changed circumstances that are the result of bereavement. It includes a special time of candle-lighting remembrance. This is a gentle retreat with a Christian perspective, sensitively led by Abi May and team, suitable for those who have lost a husband or wife, children or other close family members, or who have suffered multiple losses.  

Here’s a comment from Tricia in West London: 

“Thank you so much for all you’ve done in supporting me (and so many other people) with your wonderful, inspiring, lovingly gentle Living with Loss Retreats. I have learnt so much & found numerous ways to manage my grief & be gentle on myself in the process.  

I have absolutely loved both the retreats I’ve attended. The balance of grief support & social activities allowed me to find my feet & focus again.”
