Next retreat - September 2021
(location near Norfolk, NE)
|
My name is Nellie Urban, mother to my angel Meyer David Urban that passed away October 15th, 2018 from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). I am the coordinator of Meyer's Retreat that I started in honor of my son Meyer.
Meyer’s Retreat will be held annually in Nebraska where we bring in around 10-12 mothers across the state of Nebraska that have lost their baby to SIDS. This retreat brings in all ages, nationalities, and different stages in life and grief these mothers are in after the passing of their baby. We bring them together for 2 nights to talk through their stories of their loss, their grief, and struggles in life after their loss, and to help heal their broken hearts. We hope they leave with a sense of peace and knowing they are not alone. Meyer’s name means ‘Bringer of Light’ in Hebrew and we hope that you will join our mission to bringing light into these families by helping sponsor this retreat. A generous donation would help in our mission to providing this healing atmosphere. Any donation is greatly appreciated to help fund this annually. Donations can be made below to the right by clicking 'Support Us'. Please note in the comment 'Meyer's Retreat'. All donations with your approval, will be listed & recognized below closer to the event and listed for a year. |

After attending a SIDS Retreat in 2018; after the passing of my son Briggs West, I came home with not a healed heart but a heart more full. Being around other moms that had the same pain as I carry was therapy to my soul. Knowing that Nellie; in honor of her sweet Meyer is able to create an environment of healing and hope to other mothers can only make them strong for their families, careers, & well-being. Every mother that has lost a child to SIDS should be able to experience this healing weekend and Meyer is making that happen from Heaven"
...Melissa West, co-founder of the Briggs & Barrett Project
"Attending Meyer's Retreat allowed me to simply breathe and grieve, and to do it alongside other mommas who share that grief. The weekend was so well planned out that we were able to jun be in each moment. New friendships were formed and connections made. It was such an honor to be in attendance at the retreat."
