Andrea Corrie and Linda Sewell invite you to join their weekend retreat, from 6th - 8th June, to seek out positive strategies to support you with your life-changing loss.

This is an encouraging, sensitively led retreat that is suitable for any who have lost a loved one or had an impactful change in life circumstances, such as a traumatic divorce. This is not limited to only bereaved parents. Please note that there will be some Christian content during the retreat.

Please find more details of the retreat here.

Leader: Andrea Corrie

Now living in Devon, Andrea realised the power of writing as a tool for processing grief following the loss of her nineteen-year-old son James to accidental drowning in 2005. She has published two books, Into the Mourning Light in 2014 and Living in the Mourning Light in 2020. The positive narration in both books focuses on the attributes of hope, light, love, faith, resilience and joy.

 

 

Leader: Linda Sewell

Since losing her nineteen-year-old son Tom to an accident in New Zealand in 2008, Surrey-based Linda leads a bereavement support group for The Compassionate Friends charity (TCF) and has retrained as a professional independent celebrant. Together Andrea and Linda will provide led sessions, creative writing based on the Psalms, prayer and quiet reflection, exploring the territory of grief and how best to navigate it.
