If you've answered "YES" to one or all of these questions, perhaps it's time to reach out for help and call on your friends at Beginning Experience.  Most of us have been right where you are.  We know the pain of death, separation or divorce and we've made our way through it to a new beginning.

Beginning Experience (BE) is an international support program for widowed, separated and divorced individuals and their families.  It is a peer ministry intended to facilitate the resolution of the grief surrounding the loss of a marriage/relationship and to promote healing.

BE of Rochester has been helping for over 20 years.  We offer a one-day Coping With Life Alone program, a 10-week Rebuilding Support Group and the BE Weekend Program in the Rochester, NY area. Many of the programs take place at the beautiful Notre Dame Retreat House overlooking Canandaigua Lake. Some programs are also offered either virtually or at area churches.

Coping With Life Alone:     TBD

BE Weekend Program:        TBD

Rebuilding Support Group: TBD

TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS

One person said "BE Weekends are the best kept secret in Rochester. 
I have met so many people then and afterwards.  When I saw the rainbow on Sunday morning, I knew that my life was going to change in a new direction.       I am so happy that I made that first step by going." 

Another person said, "It was a time just for me, to explore where I’ve been in my life and where I’m going.   I have so much more energy now for my children and my job.  It was the best gift that I gave myself."
