Have you been struggling since the death of your loved one?
Come and join with others who have also experienced life-changing loss through bereavement. The aim of this supported retreat is to help you cope with your grief. Through a creative variety of activities, including led sessions, discussions and quiet reflection, we explore the journey of grief, with a focus on finding a way forward in the changed circumstances that are the result of bereavement. It includes a special time of candle-lighting remembrance. This is a gentle retreat with a Christian perspective, sensitively led by Abi May and team, suitable for those who have lost a husband or wife, children or other close family members, or who have suffered multiple losses.
Abi May runs the ‘Living with Loss’ project, which is a member of the National Bereavement Alliance. She is an experienced retreat leader, bereavement author and educator, as well as being a bereaved mother. Her grief support retreats and training courses have been held in locations throughout the UK as well as online since 2016. Find out more: www.livingwithloss.co.uk

Some kind words from previous retreatants:
“The content of the bereavement sessions was excellent and the approach varied, interactive and all very clearly presented.”
“I thought Abi led the sessions with sensitivity and compassion.”
“This was a first-class retreat which I found extremely helpful.”
“I had no idea, really, what to expect this week. I am returning home feeling assured that I will survive and continue to take ‘small steps’ on my journey.”
