Mini-Retreat for Bereaved Moms | While We’re Waiting

In addition to our weekend retreats for couples and singles, we also host While We’re Waiting Mini-Retreats for Bereaved Moms. These are one-day events, held on Saturdays at various times throughout the year.

These retreats are usually held at the While We’re Waiting Refuge in Hot Springs, Arkansas, but are occasionally held in other locations. Moms who attend will be treated to a day of pampering, delicious food, and some much-needed fellowship with other bereaved, but believing, Moms. Each event is beautifully decorated according to the season of the year. Our mini-retreats begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude around 6:30 p.m.

There is no cost for our mini-retreats; however, a voluntary love offering will be received to help offset the expenses of hosting these events. Registration is limited to six women, because we want to keep our time together intimate and personal. Preference is given to moms who have never attended a mini-retreat before. If the event is full when we receive your registration, we will put you on a waiting list and notify you if/when an opening becomes available.

We have found so much comfort from drawing near to other women of faith who understand what it is like to lose a child. We believe you will, too. We also believe that life-long friendships will be formed as we support and encourage one another in a way that no one else can. Our groups are small and intimate, with a maximum of ten moms at each event.
