Keynote Speaker: JUDY LIPSON Topic: “It Is Never Too Late To Grieve.” During breakfast on Saturday, Judy will help us understand that no matter when you suffered a loss, there is no recipe or timeline for grief. She will urge us to give ourselves permission and compassion to take the journey no matter how long it takes. Judy is the sole survivor of three sisters, losing her sister Jane in 1981 at age twenty-two in an automobile accident, and nine years later her sister Margie at age thirty- five after a twenty-year battle with anorexia and bulimia. For thirty years Judy suppressed her grief but in 2011, she founded "Celebration of Sisters", an annual ice-skating fundraiser to commemorate the lives and memories of her |
beloved sisters to benefit Massachusetts General Hospital. Skating is a sport the Lipson sisters shared and her endeavors have brought Judy full circle back to her sisters.
Read Judy's memoir, "Celebration of Sisters: It Is Never Too Late To Grieve", released in November 2021 by Writelife Publishing.

The next Gathering will be held on July 21-23, 2023 at the Hilton Washington Dulles Hotel in Herndon, Virginia, near Washington D.C. For more information click HERE |
The Gathering Conference is a three-day event with keynote speakers, workshops, meals, and memorial ceremonies designed to help bereaved parents and their families understand that they are not alone in their grief. Participants come away feeling refreshed and revitalized, better informed about the grieving process, more aware of hope and promise, and affirmed by meeting new friends who travel the same path. This year’s Gathering theme, Forever In My Heart, reminds us that the memories and love shared are eternal and that there is a way to continue forward with hope, strength, positivity, and love.
Please plan to join us and feel the love as we remember our children, siblings, and grandchildren together.
