Chesapeake Life Center to host one-day retreat for grievers and caregivers

Chesapeake Life Center invites community members to step away from the demands of caregiving and grief to focus on healing, reflection and renewal during a special one-day retreat this June.

The “Looking Back, Living Now, Leaning Forward” retreat will take place Saturday, June 13, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Burnett Center for Hope and Healing, 4559 Sixes Road in Prince Frederick.

Designed for individuals navigating loss or caring for a loved one, the retreat offers a supportive environment to rest, learn and connect with others who understand the emotional and physical challenges of these journeys.

Participants will experience a full day of meaningful activities focused on wellness and self-care, including yoga, music therapy and guidance on nutrition. Attendees can create a personal remembrance item and share with others walking similar paths. A nutritious lunch will be provided.

“Caregiving and grieving can be overwhelming, often bringing emotional strain, physical exhaustion and uncertainty about what lies ahead,” Chesapeake Life Center Manager Alena Dailey said. “This retreat offers space to pause, reflect and find strength in both personal healing and shared experience.”

The retreat is part of Hospice of the Chesapeake’s ongoing commitment to supporting individuals and families through serious illness, caregiving and loss with compassionate, comprehensive care.

The cost is $15. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. To reserve a spot, call 888-501-7077 or email griefinfo@chesapeakelifecenter.org.
