Did you know…
Losing a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss is something you both carry. And while you may grieve differently, you were never meant to grieve alone.
“As One” is a weekend retreat created to draw you and your spouse closer—to each other, and to God. It’s a space to slow down, process your loss side by side, and begin to heal together.
We know men and women often grieve in unique ways, and that difference can sometimes create distance. This retreat is designed to help bridge that gap through intentional conversations, time away from distractions, and tools to strengthen your marriage in the midst of sorrow.
Whether your loss was recent or years ago, As One offers a path toward unity, renewed connection, and hope for what’s ahead.
Trade your crammed conference weekend in for a relaxed; non-rushed time, with people who get it.
Keep it simple:
(We can’t give away all the good stuff. A detailed schedule will be emailed to couples after registering)
Friday: Get in and get settled. Share your story, then rest.
Warning: a firepit may be involved
Saturday: Breakfast, morning session, group lunch, Friday afternoon session, rest, date night, and group activity
Sunday: Breakfast, closing session, and wrap up
As One equips you with tools to handle one of life’s hardest situations…together.

Married in 2012, the Browns lost their daughter Cora to a full-term cord-wrap incident. They share their experiences of growing up having faith in Christ and how this loss affected them, their marriage, and their parenting.
“This was a much-needed weekend to put our marriage first after what we’ve been through. We’ve found ways to support each other’s grief and have improved our communication.”
— 2023 As One Attendee
The “As One” Weekend is underwritten by very generous donors, so that couples who’ve walked through the loss of a baby can come rest, receive, and be ministered to. To honor the seriousness and sacredness of this weekend, we ask for a $100 refundable deposit per couple at registration. This simply helps ensure commitment, as spots are extremely limited.
