Holiday Hope Grief Retreat

We will laugh together and cry together in a safe space to do the hard work of grief. This grief retreat provides an intimate setting where you will be cared for by a certified Compassionate Bereavement Provider and Pastoral Counselor. During our Christian-based sessions, you will learn about the five stages of grief and how to cope with each stage using triune self-care, the fascinating science behind grief, and you'll leave with sustainable coping skills to support your grief journey. Each night, a creative element will help you honor and remember your loved one. There will also be free time to process, enjoy nature, rest, and fellowship with others, creating a sense of community. Expect to be well-fed physically, emotionally, and spiritually during this Grief Care Retreat, where you can also explore aspects of marriage and the role of a pastor in healing.

Through Christian counseling and grief care, I learned the strength to cope with my loss, to breathe, and to relax, soothing the pain. These individuals, including my pastor, brought a lot of peace and calm to my soul during this grief retreat, allowing me to heal and find solace in my marriage and family.

I have worked with an amazing and lovely pastoral counselor, Danielle Kitts, in Guatemala for many years. We have conducted grief care retreats aimed at high-risk populations within church communities, making a significant impact for God. Danielle has a heart for grievers, encouraging them to keep their focus on God during times of despair. As a valuable resource for those seeking Christian counseling, she helps grievers mend their hearts and navigate their grief, often within the context of marriage and pastoral counseling.

Overall, I had a great experience at the Grief Care Retreat. It provided much-needed rest and the opportunity to reflect on areas I need to strengthen, especially in my Christian faith. I truly appreciate the genuineness that Danielle displays and her passion for helping individuals through these grief care retreats. Her approach to pastoral counseling makes me feel like I am in safe hands, allowing me to navigate my grief and even improve my marriage.

The biggest benefit of a Grief Care Retreat is the atmosphere it provides, allowing you to connect with God for the healing your mourning heart needs. This is especially significant in Christian Counseling, as God is the only one who can truly mend a broken spirit, whether you are navigating grief alone or with the support of a Pastor through Pastoral Counseling. Such retreats can also be beneficial for those dealing with grief in their Marriage.

On this Christian grief retreat, I've learned that it's okay to cry and to feel the way I feel. Through the grief counseling provided, I've discovered how to focus on the spiritual aspects of my journey rather than just the physical. I'm walking away with so much more than I expected from both the grief care and the overall experience of the grief retreat, which has greatly enriched my understanding of marriage and healing.
