Retreats for grieving Mothers is one of the many things I want to do to ensure Ashley’s lasting legacy. It is definitely something I feel called to do, but the logistics and reality of it are waaayyyy outside of my comfort zone, and so it is tentative. At this time, I feel led to offer this to Mom’s whose child was 15-30 at the time of their death, though I’m open to including Mom’s no matter the age of their child. If you are interested and your child did not fall into that age range, let me know, and I will pray about it. I never want to exclude a grieving Mom. Although our avenues of grief may be different, the loss of a child completely alters your universe no matter their age, no matter their cause of death. There will be a cost ($300-$500), but partial or full scholarships will be available in a limited quantity. If you are interested in attending, in giving to provide for others, in giving of your time or talents (food preparation, providing flowers, helping me with set-up, with activities, etc.), please email me as soon as possible, so I can truly finalize and make plans for this. I cannot do it alone!!
