Respite Retreat at the Beach is a weekend for married couples to spend unhurried time with other hurting parents who understand the devastation of losing a child. Though we believe being a member of a Gospel preaching church is God's design to care deeply for grieving parents, we also find value in gathering together to learn from one another, encourage one another, and experience renewed hope for the future in a Christ-centered setting. Respite is for couples with healthy marriages and for those whose marriages are struggling under the load of grief. It’s for those whose faith has grown through this loss and for those who have hard questions. It’s for those who want to talk about their experience and their child, and for those who are tired of talking. It’s for couples whose loss is fresh and for those who’ve been walking down this road for a while.
