Suicide Loss Survivors Retreat: Permission to Grieve, Permission to Live

Suicide Loss Survivors Retreat: Permission to Grieve, Permission to Live

The Ed Lally Foundation invites those who have lost someone to suicide to join us for a special day of connection, healing, and hope at our Suicide Loss Survivors Retreat on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PMat the Donaldson Brown Event Center in Port Deposit, Maryland.

Held in recognition of International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, this retreat provides a safe and supportive space for participants to honor their loved ones, share their stories, and explore pathways toward renewed peace and purpose. The day will include guided discussions, reflective activities, and opportunities for healing through community and self-care.

Our theme for this year, “Permission to Grieve, Permission to Live,” reminds us that healing begins when we allow ourselves to both mourn deeply and embrace life fully.

We welcome all who have been impacted by suicide loss to attend. Registration is now open — visit the registration page for details and to reserve your spot.

Together, we can find strength, understanding, and hope in community.
