SUMMARY:November Homicide Loss Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Details: November 5-8\, 2026\nCost: $350\nOrganizer: DeAndrea Dare (682) 214-4608 deandrea@amemorygrows.org \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 whose children died due to homicide. 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 $350 non-refundable cost includes all lodging with beautiful accommodations in Benbrook\, 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. \nPlease use the form 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. \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 time of registration if special needs are requested.* \n**Due to the limited number of rooms at our retreats\, the registration fee must be paid within 48 hours of registration to hold your spot.  Limited scholarship assistance is available upon request of an application.  If you need more time to pay the registration fee\, please contact us at the time of

The names of all children who were remembered during our 2025 retreats\, special events and virtual community groups will be spoken during the ceremony. We are so happy that the ceremony will once again conclude with the release of lanterns representing all the children whose families are present at the ceremony. \nAll parents\, siblings\, family members and friends are invited to attend. A reception will be held after the release of lanterns where everyone is invited to visit and make a token of remembrance to take home as a memento of our time together. \nWe hope that you will join us for this special ceremony of reflection\, remembrance and love with special music and messages. \nThank you for allowing us to be on the journey with you.
