Personal Reflections from Former Retreat Attendees
​​
  • Calmer, I can look back on happier times instead of dwelling on my loss. This weekend, I found ways of going forward.

  • The weekend, meeting all of the attendees and experiencing all of the activities have inspired me to make life changes.

  • I have been more open, and even joyful at times. I have been relaxed in sharing my feelings.

  • This retreat put me in touch with my sense of loss, and gave me a sense of hope and opportunity.
