SUMMARY:Life-Giving Wounds: Ministry for Adult Children of Divorce
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arlington Chapter of Life-Giving Wounds. It is good that you are here. Dealing with our parents' divorce is not easy\, but confronting this wound with faith can allow us to find great healing. We hope that you will become part of our supportive community and receive the many graces available through this ministry. \nHealing Retreat \nAttending the three-day retreat is a great way to start this journey of healing. The retreat focuses on discovering our identity as children of God\, although it also focuses on overcoming the effects of parental divorce\, forgiving our parents\, and connecting with others from this background. The weekend includes presentations\, small group sharing\, adoration\, spiritual direction\, and Mass. This three-day retreat is the centerpiece of this ministry. \nSave the date! The 2025 Arlington retreat will take place from Friday\, Sept. 11 to Sunday\, Sept. 13\, 2026 at San Damiano Retreat Center in White Post\, Virginia. All rooms on the retreat are private.\n\nRegistration is live! Click here to join us! \nEarly bird (through July 31): $420 \nAugust 1 - September 10: $460 \n  \n  \n \n\n \n\nBefore registering\, please be aware of the following: \n\n	You are certainly welcome to join us on retreat if you are not Catholic\, but please be aware that the content of this retreat will be heavily Catholic. \n	A team of presenters will speak about this wound and its effects\, and there will be moments for you to share your experiences with others in small groups.\n	Healing retreats pair well with counseling and/or spiritual direction. If you are not already working through this wound with someone\, we would encourage you to consider it. If you would like a recommendation\, please give us a call.\n\nIf you are unable to attend the retreat in Arlington\, please visit the Life-Giving Wounds national website for retreats and resources in other cities/states: www.lifegivingwounds.org. \nFor inquiries\, please contact (703) 841-2550 or email familylife@arlingtondiocese.org \n\nOn-Going Support \nOnce or twice a year\, we offer a free support group or book club to provide on-going help for adult children of divorce. Previous book clubs read through Between Two Worlds\, by Elizabeth Marquardt\, Primal Loss: The Now-Adult Children of Divorce Speak\, edited by Leila Miller\, Torn Asunder: Children\, the Myth of the Good Divorce\, and the Recovery of Origins\, edited by Margaret McCarthy\, and Life-Giving Wounds: A Catholic Guide to Healing for Adult Children of Divorce or Separation\, by Dr. Daniel and Bethany Meola. \nFurther Reading\n\nPlease follow the links below for further reading. The first document is a list of books and podcasts which are more specific to the wound of parental divorce. The second is a list of more general spiritual writings which will be just as helpful in your journey. \nReading List for Adult Children of Divorce \nSpiritual Writings for Adult Children of Divorce \n
