“Since April 21, 2014 I have been living an alternate life… my son Nic passed from this mortal existence on that day. I am not the same and never will be. I once thought the traumas I’d experienced up to that date were the worst that could happen. I was wrong. Nothing else even comes close to this. Nic, this child I birthed, is no longer embodied here on Earth. Surviving this is an unparalleled, surreal experience.
When I learned from Barb, the remarkable woman from our Compassionate Friends group who is championing and working on this campaign for us, about this special gifted retreat for bereaved parents in Costa Rica, I just sat down and wept. Sean, the retreat owner’s sheer generosity and compassionate spirit, wanting to give us some days of joy, beauty, comfort, and nurturing opportunities for healing, breaks my heart open even more!
To be able to make this journey in the company of my Compassionate Friends would be a gift I would never have imagined. If you can help make this possible, you can be sure Nic will hear your name in my prayers of gratitude.”
