A Day Retreat for Adult Bereaved Siblings

A Sibling Loss Retreat Where Wild Grief Meets Solace

November 16, 2024 

Bella Terra Stables in Murrysville, PA

Losing your sibling was devastating. Like many others who have experienced this disenfranchised loss you may have felt invisible in your grief and craved to be around others who could relate to your experience. This one day retreat will provide that and more.

On Saturday November 16th, join us at Bella Terra Stables in Murrysville, Pennsylvania for an event that will exceed your every expectation…

It’s the perfect backdrop for connecting with others, time for respite, and processing your grief no matter how long ago your sibling died.

This event is presented by Angela M. Dean PsyD, FT, Laura Rausch, LCSW,  and Elizabeth Schandelmeier, LCSW, APHSW-C, FT in conjunction with Bella Terra Stables, The Broken Pack™, LLC, & Howling Lion Grief Support.
