Kerith Brook

Kerith Brook Kerith Brook is a non-profit that hosts restful retreats for adults grieving the death of a loved one During my loss I found that grieving is exhausting.

On a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon, my husband Doug went for a long bicycle ride. In a moment, my life changed forever when he was struck by a car and killed. I was suddenly a widow in my early thirties after only three years of marriage. This is a well - known fact in the mental health community. Yet, over the many years since Doug’s death, I found there were few places for a grieving person

to go just to rest. I longed for a place where I could rest and also just “be” – a place where people understand the grieving process and also understand how very personal and individual the process is. Through this desire, the idea for a grief retreat house was born; a literal house where adults can rest and “be” wherever their grief journeys are taking them.

Kerith Brook and Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County invite you to share a picture and some words about a loved one you will always hold dear. We welcome you to share this post and comment adding a picture and/ or some words. Let’s remember and give thanks for those who have deeply touched us. Grace and blessings!

These words are from Maya Angelou’s poem, “When Great Trees Fall.” What a powerful and poetic depiction of grief.
