There is no time limit to grieving. Grief is an emotional trauma which may require therapeutic attention and knowledge.

“So whether it’s been 2 months or 10 years since the loss of a loved one, all are welcome to join in learning how to adjust and cope with the loss. Your experience of grief will create a changed you, a you that has not only survived but who has learned to thrive again in a new way.”
Dr. Marcie Moran

Grief Retreats

Retreats offer an educational and experiential program for coping with a death of a loved one.

Children’s Grief Programs

Children react differently to loss than adults and it is important to realize that they are grieving a loss as well. Our Children’s Grief Programs are designed for children who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
