October Infant Loss Retreat

Cost: $350
Organizer: DeAndrea Dare (682) 214-4608 deandrea@amemorygrows.org

The bond between a parent and child begins long before birth and is a bond that transcends time and never ends. The journey of grief and finding a way to navigate the days and nights after the death of a child can be incredibly hard. There is so much love and no tangible place to direct it. You are not alone.
We would be honored to join you as you create a legacy and celebrate your child. Connecting with others who understand this journey of love and grief is often one of the most important parts of healing.
The $350 non-refundable cost includes all lodging with beautiful accommodations in Fort Worth, TX, programming costs (includes all materials for remembrance activities, rituals, and Licensed Professional Counselor) as well as 7 meals. The only thing that is not covered is the cost of whatever the parent/s decide to do during the free night.
Please use the Donate button below (plus $5.00 processing fee) or send a check for the $350.00 to pay the non-refundable retreat fee after completing your reservation form to hold your spot.
