Hope After Loss Retreats - 2026
Through the heartache of losing a loved one, we can find healing and comfort through God’s love and strength.
Losing a loved one to addiction brings a twist of complicated emotions from shame to regret to agonizing sorrow. Hope After Loss retreats will help you process your emotions and press forward on the journey of healing and restoration. This is done in a relaxing retreat setting, through sharing in small groups, keynote speakers, and self-care. By walking through grief together God can give us strength, purpose, and HOPE in the midst of our circumstances.

I know we all hate hearing the word “inflation,” but food and lodging costs have increased, so we had to increase our prices as well. We keep the cost as low as possible and get sponsors to help fill the gaps in expenses. Without sponsors, attendees' costs would be doubled.
A double ticket is discounted for couples or friends wanting to share a room. A single ticket is for an individual rooming alone.
Refunds are available up to two weeks prior to retreat. Email Amy (Amy@hopeisalive.net,) and/or Darcie (Darcie@hopeisalive.net) for a refund.
At all the retreats, you will get the opportunity to hear from our Director of Family Support Groups, our Finding Hope Coordinator, and our Finding Hope & Hope After Loss Consultants.
