“It was such a rewarding experience to really look into myself and answer the questions that I have actually buried deep in my soul

“I realized there are other people with the same pain and there can be hope and goodness out of the tragedy.”

“You are providing a courageous ministry.”

“The whole weekend has been an awesome experience. I thank God for your work. Out of  pain has come the gift of beauty from ashes exactly as represented by the retreat’s name.’

“This retreat weekend was one of the best experiences of my adult walk of faith. In the eleven years since my husband’s suicide, I’ve rarely been given the opportunity to explore my grief within a spiritual environment or context. I feel my faith has been renewed and strengthened in this reflection of my loss.”
