HAL Moms' Retreat 2025

In grief of losing a child to addiction, we find hope through God’s love.

Losing a child to the impact of addiction brings a twist of complicated emotions from shame to regret to agonizing sorrow. Hope After Loss Moms' Retreat will help you process your emotions and press forward on the journey of healing and restoration with other moms. This is done in a relaxing retreat setting, through sharing in small groups. By walking through grief together God can give us strength, purpose, and HOPE in the midst of our circumstances.

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love” Romans 8:38 NLT
