Respite Retreat at the River is a weekend for married couples to spend unhurried time with other hurting parents who understand the devastation of losing a child. We gather to learn from each other, encourage each other, and experience renewed hope for the future in a Christ-centered setting. Respite is for couples with healthy marriages and for those whose marriages are struggling under the load of grief. It’s for those whose faith has grown through this loss and for those who have hard questions. It’s for those who want to talk about their experience and their child, and for those who are tired of talking. It’s for couples whose loss is fresh and for those who’ve been walking down this road for a while.
"This has re-calibrated our grief and propelled us forward. We have felt adrift, and this gave us direction."
“This was good for our marriage. It has enabled us to talk about our grief in a constructive way."
