"I would like to see Spark of Life grow and grow. I personally would not change a thing. I saw and experienced so much healing, and made many new friends. There was nothing I did not like, it was almost perfect. Thank you all for this retreat."

"What I liked most about the Spark of Life Retreat was the love I felt from everyone. The personal touches were great. Everything was very well done, full of information and lots of loving care. The leaders made it obvious that they understood that loss is hard and that they were here to help."

"Really, this retreat was almost perfect. The groups were so well put together. I walked away feeling as if I made new friends and mentors. I will say it again – there was such love here on this retreat. It made it stand out from any other retreat I have ever been on. It was wonderful!"

"I was a little unsure what to do before we arrived, but when we did, it was awesome. All I can say is that I will forever be grateful."

"All I can say is WOW! And thank you! Thanks you so much for the wonderful gift you have given to me, that I can once again have hope. I really never dreamed that it was even possible, but now I have been given the tools to be able to start living to move forward. Such a gift can never be taken away or broken, and I truly cherish this gift. This is all such powerful stuff and I feel so blessed to have been a part of this blessed event."

"What a precious gift you and Spark of Life have given us this weekend. Knowledge, application, and unconditional acceptance were shared with us and have impacted our lives. May God’s love, peace, and empowering grace be upon you and Spark of Life."

"I want you to know how I have cherished my time at Spark of Life and Tanglewood. The resort and personnel was fabulous. I felt so special and pampered there that I did not want to leave. The Spark of Life retreat has given me a renewed sense of hope that perhaps I can find a way to once again have a rich and fulfilling life. I cannot thank you enough."

"'Thank you' seems so small for something of this magnitude. Forever grateful and living forward."

"Thank you so much for these past few days. We have received the most helpful guidance that we have had since our son died a year ago. We have quickly found that this weekend was truly a safe place to be. Please continue to provide help for hurting people. We will always be available to speak to others about our time together at Spark of Life – as a testimony to this wonderful ministry."

“We attended Spark of Life Retreat in February-what a blessing! We were able to openly express our feelings of sorrow and grief and to witness the similar pains others experience as they shared their stories of the loss of a child. Through shared tears of sorrow and joy we found relief and hope. The beautiful, natural setting provided peace, refuge, and restoration. We came home with a  sense of purpose – the desire to reach out to others, to help them through their journey of grief.”
