Grief is a journey. 

Hello, my name is Sherry Valdez. I am a bereaved mother, daughter, sister and granddaughter.  I guess you could say my grief journey began when I lost my grandmother in the late 80's. Followed by my brother in 1993 to a tragic rock climbing accident. My mother earned her wings just a few years ago in 2017, but my most tragic and difficult loss was that of my son on May 14, 2019. That one had me on my knees. The journey back from that loss has been a roller coaster. But I am slowly getting there. There are several things that have given me hope for another day when I really didn't care. Hugs and prayers were number one. Just to know someone cared and would hold me through it. My faith carried me to each new sunrise. What I have learned is that some days you need rest, some days you need to cry and some days are full of hope and Gods strength. I want to share all of that with you. Because sharing with others is comforting and healing. So join me for a weekend of what ever it is YOU need in your journey. Your H.O.P.E. hug In memory of Christopher Cocroft (IMOCC)  is waiting.
