Joined on the Journey 2025

Joined on the Journey is a heartfelt one-day gathering created for bereaved parents—mothers, fathers, caregivers and grandparents who have experienced the unimaginable death of a child.

This is not a seminar. It's not a conference. It's a space of understanding—a place to connect with others who “get it.” Whether your loss was recent or years ago, this day is for you.

💛 Upon arrival, you'll receive a welcome bag and have the chance to fill it with comforting and helpful grief resources: books, journals, children’s books, pens, tissues, comfort items, and more.

🗣 A keynote speaker (either live or via video) will guide us through compassionate conversations about grief, love, and healing.

💬 Small groups will meet throughout the day, offering time to share stories, reflect on common themes of grief, and witness one another without judgment.

🕯 We will close the day with a memorial slideshow honoring children who left us too soon. To include your child, please email a photo (by 8/8/25) to:

🧸 Childcare is available. A certified counselor will lead children in grief-sensitive crafts and story time centered around sibling loss.

🥯 Breakfast snacks, coffee, and lunch will be available to all attendees.

💵 This event is completely free. Parents Left Behind fundraises all year long to offer events like this, the Weekend Wellness Retreat, grief yoga, Mens Night and more.
