ABOUT
Grief to Grace
Grief to Grace was created by Dr. Theresa Burke — a recognized leader in the field of trauma and treatment and the creator of Rachel’s Vineyard post-abortive healing retreats — after witnessing how many women in her retreats had experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse.
Grief to Grace is a faith-based program of healing for anyone who has endured abuse or trauma in any form — whether in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood.
Rooted in Sacred Scripture, the sacraments, and sound psychological principles, the retreat provides a path to healing that unites emotional restoration with spiritual renewal. Participants walk through a carefully structured process that integrates prayer, guided reflection, therapeutic exercises, and opportunities for sacramental grace.
It is a journey from grief to grace — from the pain of the past into the peace of Christ.
