Post #7 - Thank You for Making the Sibling Strong Retreats Launch a Success!

Dear Sibling Strong Family,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for attending our virtual launch party for Sibling Strong Retreats. Your presence and support made the event truly special. We were amazed to see surviving siblings, supportive friends and family, and five of our Advisory Council members all come together.

Sibling Strong Retreats was born from the belief that no sibling should have to navigate the journey of grief alone. Losing a brother or sister is a unique heartbreak, and too often surviving siblings feel overlooked or alone in their pain. Our retreats aim to change that. By bringing bereaved siblings together for healing weekends, we provide a safe space where shared understanding and connection can spark hope and comfort. We truly believe that when siblings gather to honor their loved ones and support each other, powerful healing happens. Your enthusiasm and encouragement during the launch party affirmed that this mission matters and that it’s going to make a real difference in many lives.

Now, as we move forward, we invite you to help keep the momentum going! One of the most impactful ways you can support us is by sharing our story and resources widely. We’ve put together a few key links below. Please share them with your friends, family, and social networks – anywhere and everywhere you can. By spreading the word, you’re helping us reach more grieving siblings who might need this community, and you’re rallying more supporters to our cause. Here are the resources to share:

• Launch Video: https://youtu.be/uipLNBlhBsM – Relive our launch party and share this inspiring introduction to Sibling Strong Retreats.

• Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574691370552 – Follow us and share our page to help grow our online community.

• Official Website: https://www.siblingstrongretreats.com/ – Learn more about our mission and upcoming retreats, and share with anyone who might benefit.

We want to especially highlight our fundraising goal. We are working hard to raise funds so that we can reduce the cost of participation for grieving siblings, ensuring that finances are not a barrier to healing. No one should be turned away from a healing retreat because of financial difficulties. With your help in sharing the GoFundMe and encouraging donations, we can provide scholarships and reduced pricing so that every sibling who wants to attend a retreat can do so. Every share and every contribution brings us closer to this goal. Together, we can make sure that any sibling who needs support will have the chance to join us on a retreat, focus on healing, and form lasting bonds – without worrying about the cost.

As we reflect on the launch, our hearts are full of gratitude and hope. Thank you for being part of the beginning of Sibling Strong Retreats. You’ve helped light a spark that will grow into a beacon for grieving siblings everywhere. We have so much to look forward to – more events, our first retreats, and a growing community of siblings helping siblings. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as these dreams take shape. In the meantime, please continue to spread the word and keep the Sibling Strong spirit alive. If you have any questions, ideas, or just want to reach out, we’d love to hear from you. This is a community effort, and your voice and support matter immensely to us.

Once again, thank you for your kindness, your support, and your belief in this mission. You are an essential part of the Sibling Strong family. Together, we are ensuring that no surviving sibling has to feel alone, and that healing and hope are within reach for all of us.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Sibling Strong Retreats Team
