The Awakening Grace Foundation in Pella will hold their sixth annual Journey Through Grief Day Retreat on Saturday, March 28th. 

The event will be held at Backroads Retreat in Oskaloosa next Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm. The retreat provides a supportive space for families grieving the loss of a child during pregnancy or infancy. The retreat is designed as a place where families can take a break from everyday life and gather with others to remember the babies they have lost. Amber Beyer with Awakening Grace says that services like the retreat are set up to ensure families that they are not alone during these difficult times.

“I think a lot of times we, at Awakening Grace, hear a lot from families that the most important thing that came out of our services, whether it’s the retreat or something else, is that it made them feel less alone. And so to walk into a room with over forty people this year who to some extent know exactly what you’re walking through, has been really encouraging.”
