Our Impact
Luella's Lodge is dedicated to providing holistic, high-quality programs and services to bereaved parents and families in a safe and beautiful space. Being a grieving parent can be an isolating and painful journey. We strive to lessen that isolation and pain by creating opportunities for grieving parents to come together and create lasting connections. See below for our impact and what retreat attendees are saying.
As of January 2025, we've served over 250 grieving parents from 18 U.S. states!
