Partners Page in Grief Support
Beginning in 2010, the Foundation began offering our Meadowlark Weekend Grief Retreats to grieving mothers and in 2014 to grieving fathers. The idea for these retreats came from Stacey Redman’s own grief experience and her desire for a more intensive and supportive community with other grieving mothers. Stacey and a few board members turned to Shelly Gillan, Client Services and Program Director of the Kara Grief Group in Palo Alto and Leslie Chin, interpersonal dynamics and skills lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, to design a unique and groundbreaking retreat experience. A retreat that gives community and healing to mothers who lost a child. To date more than 240 mothers and fathers have attended a Meadowlark Retreat.
We would like to acknowledge key partner Jim Santucci, Executive Director of Kara Grief organization for leading the facilitation of the Father’s Retreats.
