VILOMAH Winter RETREAT: FOR PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

We know the profound and unique pain that the holidays can bring to bereaved parents. The sense of loneliness, feeling misunderstood, and the isolation that often follows the loss of a child can be especially acute during this time of year. For some of us, the secondary losses—of friends, family, and even marriages—can seem unbearable, layering pain upon pain.


The Vilomah Winter 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 find a community that truly gets it. A place where we can cry and laugh together - without guilt or judgment. 


Join us in a compassionate and safe environment where we will explore our grief authentically and without apology. Together, we will delve into the ways grief affects us and learn how to reclaim our sense of self. Finding meaning in the midst of grief is a daunting task, but it is essential for rediscovering a quality of life that honors both our child and our loss.


The Vilomah Winter Retreat is designed to provide a nurturing space where you can connect with others who share your experience, find solace, and explore meaningful tools for navigating your grief. Become part of our community, where ongoing support and understanding are always within reach. Embrace the opportunity for some healing and reset in a space dedicated to your unique journey.
