VILOMAH RETREAT: FOR PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

 As bereaved parents, we understand the profound and unique pain that follows the loss of a child. The sense of loneliness, feeling misunderstood, and the isolation that can accompany grief are deeply challenging. For many of us, the secondary losses—of friends, family, or even marriages—compound the pain, creating layers of heartache.


The Vilomah Retreat offers a sanctuary where you can find understanding, connection, and support. Here, you won’t hear “I can’t imagine what you’re going through.” Instead, you’ll discover a community that truly gets it—a place where you can cry and laugh without guilt or judgment.


In this compassionate and safe environment, we explore grief authentically and without apology. Together, we delve into how loss impacts us, seek ways to reclaim our sense of self, and work toward finding meaning. While navigating grief is daunting, rediscovering a quality of life that honors both your loss and your ongoing journey is a vital and transformative process.


The Vilomah Retreat is designed to provide a nurturing space where you can connect with others who share your experience, find solace, and learn meaningful tools for navigating your grief. Become part of this supportive community where understanding is abundant, and regaining health is embraced. This retreat is an opportunity to reset, find hope, and take the next steps on your unique path forward.
