Hello, we are Andrew and Julie Heath. On August 26, 2012, our lives were turned upside down and changed forever. Our son Jeremy was found to have a tumor in his brain. Surgery was performed 3 days later, and the biopsy revealed Glioblastoma Multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. 8 weeks later it returned and again, more surgery. In February 2013, the tumor had returned along with several other tumors. Jeremy's cancer journey ended on April 1, 2013. He was 29 years old and left behind his wife and 2 sons.

Months later, we were celebrating our anniversary, we shared with each other that God had placed a burden on our hearts of how we could help parents facing the same loss and grief we had experienced. After looking on line to see if there was something out there like what God was showing us, we found two that dealt with the death of a child. One of the places was Healing Hope Ministries. Soon after, we contacted Denny and Kari Allen, founders of Healing Hope Ministries, and shared with them our heart and vision of  beginning a retreat center in the Tennessee Region. Since teaming up with them, we have established a cottage retreat in Rogersville, Tennessee.
