On March 20–22 this year, a retreat for people who have lost a child will take place at the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki under the theme: “Acknowledging the Loss.” The retreat may help participants to experience this painful loss in a meaningful way by immersing their wounded hearts in God’s mercy.

The retreat, including workshop elements, will be a time of shared prayer and an opportunity to gain comprehensive knowledge and support in this very delicate and difficult experience.

The retreat will be led by: Anna Gandecka, wife, mother, psychotraumatologist and special education teacher, initiator of the Carissima counseling center in Poznań, which supports people after the loss of a child; Piotr Gandecki, husband and father, working in the editorial team of the magazine “Trwajcie w miłości” (“Remain in Love”); Fr. Marcin Skowron, a priest of the Archdiocese of Poznań, vicar at St. Anthony’s Parish in Poznań and a religion teacher at a high school in Poznań.
