SUMMARY:SOLD OUT April Older Child Loss Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Details: April 11-14\, 2024\nCost: $295\nOrganizer: DeAndrea  (682) 214-4608    deandrea@amemorygrows.org \n  \nThis event is now sold out. To be added to the wait list\, please email Deandrea Dare. \n  \nAfter a child dies it seems that time has stopped and yet the world keeps on moving. Our hearts break and our minds race and yet no one can see or feel that which is happening inside of us. We all grieve differently and sometimes the ways that we grieve are misunderstood by others and even by ourselves. This is why it is so important to find others who are walking a similar path who can truly relate to what we are thinking and feeling. \nIn the time shared during the retreats our children are celebrated and the relationship that we continue to share with them is nourished. Time is also intentionally set aside for rest\, relaxation and reflection. \nParents are free to choose as many activities to participate in or as few. We understand that sometimes the time away is simply what is needed. A Licensed Professional Counselor will be leading a group session on grief that is highly encouraged for all parents to participate in. \nThe $295 non-refundable cost includes all lodging with beautiful accommodations at The Farmstone\, a Texas Sized Luxury Retreat\, 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. \nDue to a generous grant a large part of the retreat cost is being underwritten. \nThis retreat is dedicated to the life and legacy of Nathaniel Henry Lin. Nathan was a smart\, funny\, joyful\, loving\, faithful\, goofy little boy who was filled with enthusiasm and spirit- especially when cheering on his TCU Horned Frogs or Texas Rangers! Nathan loved Star Wars; Legos; chess; Pokémon; Hotwheels; dancing like a ninja; Beethoven’s 9th Symphony; drawing; all things chocolate and Chick Fil A.  His Kindergarten teacher  said he was the most “spiritual” child she had ever taught and his strong\, unwavering faith helped guide our family on the difficult journey we faced after his diagnosis. In many ways\, Nathan was incredibly wise and insightful\, but also saw the world through the innocent eyes of a child. When he was 7 years old\, he was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme\, an aggressive\, malignant brain tumor for which there is no cure and limited treatment options. He underwent surgery\, a course of radiation and a clinical trial of chemotherapy.  His courageous battle lasted for 10 months. He died at home in his mother’s arms\, surrounded by his family on June 3\, 2016. Nathan is forever 8 years old\, but the “ripple” of his short but significant life continues to touch and enrich the lives of his family\, friends and others who have learned his story. \nNathan’s mother Cathy has been involved with A Memory Grows from its inception and has moved into a leadership role within the organization.  Nathan’s parents both attended the very first Older Child Loss Retreat.  Cathy says\, “A Memory Grows has been a lifeline in the journey we have been forced to walk since Nathan’s death.  It has given me a safe place to grieve\, share\, find fellowship and support and to learn how to continue to parent a child who has run ahead to heaven.” \nPlease use the form below (plus $5.00 processing fee) or send a check for the $295.00 to pay the non-refundable retreat fee after completing your reservation form to hold your spot. \n*Although we do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions we may not be able to meet all needs.  Please let us know at the

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT February Suicide Loss Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Details: February 29-March 3\, 2024\nCost:$295\nOrganizer: DeAndrea (682) 214-4608 deandrea@amemorygrows.org \n  \nThis event is now sold out. To be added to the wait list\, please email Deandrea Dare. \n  \nAfter a child dies it seems that time has stopped and yet the world keeps on moving. Our hearts break and our minds race and yet no one can see or feel that which is happening inside of us. We all grieve differently and sometimes the ways that we grieve are misunderstood by others and even by ourselves. This is why it is so important to find others who are walking a similar path who can truly relate to what we are thinking and feeling. \nRetreats presented by A Memory Grows connects parents who have experienced similar losses. This retreat in particular will bring together parents who are survivors of suicide. In this setting we will find a safe place to remember and honor our children\, not for how they died but for how they lived. In the time shared during the retreats our children are celebrated and the relationship that we continue to share with them is nourished. Time is also intentionally set aside for rest\, relaxation and reflection. \nParents are free to choose as many activities to participate in or as few. We understand that sometimes the time away is simply what is needed. A Licensed Professional Counselor will be leading a group session on grief that is highly encouraged for all parents to participate in. \nThe $295 non-refundable cost includes all lodging with beautiful accommodations at The Farmstone\, a Texas Sized Luxury Estate\, 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. \nDue to a generous grant a large part of the retreat cost is being underwritten.  This retreat has been generously underwritten by the Poché Family and Shell Oil in memory of Karyn Poché.  Karyn is the oldest of three daughters. Her parents describe her in these words\, “Karyn’s greatest quality displaying her inner beauty was her compassion. She loved helping people and making people happy. She saw the goodness in everyone\, especially when no one else could. She was a completely selfless young lady\, who strived to bring others happiness through laughter\, as Karyn was quite a prankster. Everyone that knew Karyn loved her. She had a way of connecting with everyone she met\, both young and old. She adored children and considered a future as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse or a Licensed Clinical Social Worker so she could help children who suffer. Her greatest act of selflessness was making the decision to become an organ donor when she got her drivers permit – truly demonstrating her compassion for others. Karyn suffered in silence while bringing others joy.” \nKaryn died by suicide on November 20\, 2018\, at the age of 15 after years of suffering from major depression. Karyn’s parents traveled from Louisiana to attend the September 2019 A Memory Grows Retreat for Suicide Loss. \n“A Memory Grows gave us\, as parents\, the opportunity to focus on giving Karyn the grieving time she deserved and allowed us the time to only focus on her without any outside day to day life distractions. We were afforded the opportunity to express our grief in any way we needed without judgement. A Memory Grows brought us together with other parents who were grieving their children so we could be with other parents that truly understood our pain and could support each other. We want Karyn’s legacy to be lived out through A Memory Grows because\, no matter how much we hate it\, parents will always be grieving a child\, so we want to continue to help other parents in the grieving process. All Karyn ever wanted to do was to help those who are suffering. We have to do it for her now.”  -Clark and Temple Poché. \nPlease use the form below (plus $5.00 processing fee) or send a check for the $295.00 to pay the non-refundable retreat fee after completing
