Leaning on Christ

Finding Comfort & Hope in Grief

Haven of Hope is a non-denominational ministry with the sole desire to minister to moms who have suffered the death of a child by offering comfort, hope and encouragement. We host an annual retreat where moms can have a safe place to work through the grief process, share their feelings and talk about their child/children.  Our desire is that you will walk away with encouragement, friendships, love and above all hope. Read our story.

Retreats

Haven of Hope retreats are for mothers that have suffered the death of a child regardless of age or circumstance. We are women of all ages coming together to encourage, love, and give each other hope. Throughout this special weekend you will hear stories from other mothers and be able to share your child with others in a safe place where you can be real and we will meet you where you are, without judgement.

Sitting down at the first meal at the retreat, wearing my name tag with Josh’s picture hanging in it. Being able to talk to other women about their child. Asking “what happened?” Openly and gladly sharing about our children. Being open emotionally. No masks. Being genuine. Priceless.
