Hope Floats Healing & Wellness Center Inc

9 years ago I lost my youngest child. If I hadn’t found Hope Floats I don’t know where i’’d be now.
I found them to be such kind and caring people.
I joined their group counseling and I also did one on one counseling. Both of which were so helpful.

My husband passed away on December 3, 2022. I am attending the Spouse Bereavement Support Group at Hope Floats, Kingston, MA on Thursday mornings. It is facilitated by two women (Lily & Gail) that have lost their spouses and they are both incredible. They provide encouragement, make you feel cared for & heard and they help sort out the feelings we all experience during our grief. Grief can be very lonely and isolating and we have been made to feel welcome and part of a caring group of people that help support each other. We speak to and listen to others having the same experiences and learn from each other & the facilitators. It's a small group of 5 participants and they're all equally wonderful, caring and supportive. I highly recommend this to any one that has lost a spouse/partner.

I found Hope Floats online about six months after my son died from an accidental overdose. I attended a day retreat for mothers who had lost a child to overdose. It was a beautiful day interacting with others who had been through the same loss as me & who could understand my pain. After this retreat my family and I took part in their annual walk to honor our loved ones. It was a very special experience and I have continued to be a part of this walk. This organization helps so many people.

Hope Floats provides a safe space for kids to be together and has helped my daughter deal with the loss of her father. The group she is in with other children who have lost a parent has given her the support she needs to know she is not alone.
There are many other support groups which we have not yet participated in but it is comforting to know they are there for when we are ready to join

Hope Floats offered amazing support in the hardest time. Having a place to comfortably talk of the pain I felt while I was grieving helped tremendously in my healing. Their support was nothing short of amazing.

Hope floats helped me after the sudden death of my 35 year old daughter. Such kind people and it was comforting to meet with other people in similar situations. Never any judgement just care and compassion. I just wish they were closer to my home.

I have delivered programming here, and they are very committed to their clients served, volunteers and staff.

Hope floats and it’s founders Denise and Ken Brack are seriously bringing needed support to so many!!
They opened their beautiful space for children dealing with a seriously ill parent when I was facilitating that group for another organization.
They care for individuals, families, caregivers, addiction, veterans and work hard to meet the increasing needs of the community in these challenging times. I often refer people to their groups and events , glad to be able to offer something of use!!

Wonderful experience for families who lost loved ones to Covid. Love participating in the memory walk every year.

Hope Floats Healing & Wellness Center provides hope to grieving adults, children, teens and their families. They’ve been an amazing resource to me through their zoom support groups and so much more since the day we lost our infant son. Participating in the Annual Walk To Remember is a chance to honor those who we’ve lost but will always remember.

Wonderful resource in our community for grief support that I refer people to repeatedly.

I attended a grief group for those who lost a spouse provided at Hope Float. It was the single best thing that helped me understand and share what I was going through. Doing it alongside others in the same situation is incredibly powerful.

I've attended several other one day events. All were absolutely worth my time.

The grounds are beautiful and incredibly peaceful. I enjoy just being there.

Hope Floats has provided not only myself, but countless others with the crucial support and guidance needed to navigate the treacherous journey of grief. Ken and Denise Brack opened the center in honor of their son, Michael, and in turn have helped countless families deal with unthinkable tragedies, while simultaneously keeping his memory very much alive. The volunteers, counselors, and therapists are some of the kindest individuals who make you feel welcome as soon as you step foot on the beautiful property. Whether you are just starting out on your grief journey or are years in, Hope Floats can and will support you. I cannot thank all the members of Hope Floats enough for all they do for the community.

A place that supports, cares and helps people get back to living.

Hope Floats is just incredible. Their outreach and support of children and families experiencing “loss” seeks to encompass the entirety of that word.

Though a good portion of their work skillfully supports those experiencing the traditional construct of “grief” and “loss” as synonymous with the death of a loved one, Hope Floats takes it one giant leap forward. I was so blessed to have participated in a one day educator retreat this summer that illustrated that grief means so much more.

Essentially, Hope Floats designed the retreat to inform educators that their students experiencing grief may be due to losing a family member, or incongruently, loss of a home, the ending of an adult’s relationship in their home, or the loss of “normalcy” the accompanies chronic illness for a patient and their families. Regardless of the cause, grief will effect one similarly. More importantly, if a students family experiences a difficult loss, the child’s sense of normalcy, predictability and safety are subsequently affected, due to overwhelm on behalf of their adults. In most cases, secondary to a child’s adults at home, their most consistent adult interaction and care is provided by their classroom teachers. Hope Floats aims to imbue educators with that knowledge, access to informational resources, and guidance in supporting our students in a facet of our role we had not yet considered.

We, as educators, were to focus on the grief surrounding the irrevocable changes within our beloved profession, brought on by the Covid pandemic. In expanding my dogma of “grief” to include unwanted change or loss, I was able to empathize on a greater level with the feelings a student may be feeling due to more than simply “death”.

Throughout the day, educators from widespread specialties and settings were encouraged to discuss the challenges and overwhelming changes surrounding our career. We began to focus on the common ground we shared, brainstormed ways to set boundaries and practice true self care, and the availability and importance of various relaxation techniques.

We educators had a healthy lunch following gentle yoga and meditation. We experienced Reiki, mini massage sessions and facials. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed and, most importantly, renewed and recharged in my abilities to positively impact the well being of my students this year.

I had seriously considered leaving the profession despite my 17 year investment, love of educating little minds, and still paying for my graduate degree. I left the retreat with a drastically different perspective, ready to take on the year ahead. It is three months later and people at work have commented about my enthusiasm, positivity, and shifted energy. This is colossal and completely attributable to my one day experience at Hope Floats.

The staff at Hope Floats are phenomenal. Highly trained and credentialed in their specialties, they more importantly are passionate in their mission to support children and families through insurmountable loss and grief. We were provided examples of interactive discussions, therapeutic art, journalling, restorative nature and so much more.

The Brack’s have lit a spark of literal hope within their community with their lovely grounds, welcoming home-like surroundings and spaces, the staff they have hand picked to work as a team, and the compassion that comes with their own experience, both as educators and survivors of profound loss.

I cannot say enough about the mission of Hope Floats. I very highly provide them two resounding thumbs up.

Hope Floats is a lifeline to so many, offering free support groups to those who are grieving. Having lost a child, I know firsthand how important it is to have a space to share with others who understand what you are going through.

Amazingly warm and welcoming staff and property, I cannot recommend enough!

Hope floats is an AMAZING organization! The services & support offered are so beautiful. The love and caring by everyone associated with hope floats is astounding. Much love to all staff & volunteers!!

Our family would not have survived the loss of our twins if it weren't for Hope Floats. As a volunteer, I am proud of the training program Hope Floats has created to help professionals and the community alike to learn the basics of grief and how to help professionals and loved ones help aid in the support of the grieving process.

Hope floats help me during a very tragic time in my life. After the loss of my son I felt I had no place to turn I was completely lost in grief. I found out about hope floats by shear luck and I’m so great full for that. Hope Floats showed me that I wasn’t alone that I had help from others who are on the same journey as myself.

Hope Floats has been an amazing resource to me & my family over the past 4 years. This organization is more than a bereavement center, it’s a sacred space, an oasis from the daily challenges that overwhelm those of us that are grieving. Mostly, Hope Floats has become an extension of my family.

Since losing my daughter unexpectedly, my husband and I have benefited from Hope Floats’ resources in numerous ways. We’ve attended bimonthly support groups, gathered with the community for remembrance walks, created bonds with other bereaved parents and made life-long friends. We’ve enjoyed the comforts of Reiki share, the peacefulness of the prayer labyrinth, as well as a bereaved mother’s retreat which made Mother’s Day that year just a little more bearable.

The staff and volunteers at Hope Floats make it possible for families like mine to find a way forward in our lives. I have no doubt that I am not alone in saying that Hope Floats saves lives; lives of the broken-hearted who just need a light to lead them down a brighter path, until they can find their own way again.

I do not know where I would be today without Hope Floats. I lost my only child in 2006 and it has been a very difficult and challenging time in my life. They have so much compassion for all who come to them and always express the love and nurturing one needs when going through a loss of any kind. I always recommend them to friends I know who find themselves in this unique hardship

My mother was in hospice and when she died I was told about the different programs that Hope Floats provides to help with loss. I hesitated but then joined a support group two months after her passing. The many activities and the fellowship of the leaders and participants was wonderful. Because it was such a welcoming environment I enrolled in other programs such as massage, yoga, table tipping and found each one a worthwhile experience held in a beautiful home and activity center. ~Pam

Hope Floats is the absolute best I’d be lost without them it feels just like an extended Family ♥️

I live in NC and lost my son in April 2020. Because of COVID, there were no support groups meeting locally and, the ones I did find who were meeting via Zoom, were more "catch all" groups, not specific to child loss. I am so glad I found Hope Floats! The group I joined has become like family, we all cheer each other on, share thoughts that have helped us and grieve collectively. Although I hope I never have to recommend this group to another parent, if the time comes, Hope Floats will be my first recommendation.
You have no idea how much your organization has saved me.
Thank you,
Natalie B

My 4-year old son died in my arms early one morning. Hope Floats was there for me when I needed them. I attended a parents support group while my surviving son attended their "Mike's Club" children's grief group. I then moved to their "Dad's only" peer support group, which I still attend. Even during the pandemic lockdown, they continued their support groups via zoom, including having a regular 1:1 check-in for my son. My son also has special needs and Hope Floats are comfortable working with him in a way he understands. All the people in my groups have been through a similar experience to myself and can relate. I would recommend their services to anyone who has lost a loved one, and is in need of support.

Hope floats was a wonderful resource for me and my family after the sudden loss of a family member. Everyone was so incredibly kind and supportive. It’s been over a year since his passing, but still regularly get emails alerting me to their offerings. Even though time has passed, I don’t feel in any way that I would not be welcome because it wasn’t recent or my grief has changed. They also offer so many workshops and supports. What I used was different than what other resources family members found support in, but all from Hope Floats.

I first called Hope Floats 3 years ago after losing my son. They had no counselors available and offered a peer led support group with the understanding I would be informed when a counselor became available. I called again as I never heard back. Received a couple of names. They never called back. Called again, more names, no call backs. They seem more interested in pushing psychic workshops, yoga retreats, and so on than helping you find one on one support, even though, they claim to offer this. I tried for 3 years, no luck. There was no interest or compassion shown in helping me. I did attend a workshop. Nothing special. Found out later it was the facilitators first workshop. Her inexperience was clear. Not impressed. I do believe they help people they know or are referred. If you call cold, apparently you are on your own.

My mother was one of the early victims of COVID-19, passing away in NYC on April 7 of 2020. My sister and I were not allowed to be with her at the end, go to her apartment or to collect her ashes. My sister and I were not allowed to be together to grieve either because she lives in Michigan and I live in Massachusetts. Hope Float hosted a Dealing with Loss Due to COVID virtual workshop, and this workshop gave my sister and I a chance to grieve with each other and other participants which helped me in many ways to remember and love my mother. It was a truly healing and helpful workshop held at a time in my life that I truly needed it.

Let's just say you cannot prepare yourself for the loss of a loved one, I thought I could. I knew Mike was going to die so I took care of everything, but myself. After only a couple of months I knew I was not doing good, not leaving the house, not seeing people, just really really sad all the time. I was mad at him for leaving me, that's when I knew I needed help. I reached out to hospice and they put me in touch with Hope Floats in Kingston, best decision I ever made. I signed up for a weekly group. My first week was hard, I did not want to talk and I tried really hard to hide my tears. When Wednesdays came I looked forward to going. Grief is different for every person I soon realized. I can't say enough about this center, amazing workshops, kind kind people.

Hope floats is such a comforting place to helps those in need of healing feel at peace, at home and connected. The minute you pull into hope floats a feeling of serenity comes over you. I can’t explain it but I felt at home. I lost my baby at 20 weeks and I went to a support group from infant loss. The group leaders were so welcoming and I’ve made some lasting friendships with families who also experienced the same loss. Aside from the many support groups hope floats offers there are also workshops, yoga and meditation classes. All to help us aid in our grief process. I will forever be grateful for Hope Floats and recommend to anyone who has suffered a loss.

I have attended several events at Hope Floats. Denise is wonderful and makes you feel welcome. She also makes you feel Like your situation is just as important as everything else. She understands and provides a variety of classes, groups, meditation etc. The events available to us provide a very comforting and heartwarming atmosphere. It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY with my losses and I’m so grateful for Hope Floats. I have also in turn brought many of my friends as well.

They are the best !

I went to support group for grief. My grandchildren also went for grief counseling. Hope Floats was the best place, people were friendly and so very helpful. I still have contact with the group I was in and we go the dinner every other week. Also, text alot when we need it. One of my grand daughter's still recieves and keeps in contact with Hope Floats counselor. I cannot say enough about this program.

Was able to receive so much support in the loss of my 36 year old son. All of us parents lost our children to substance abuse so to sit and talk about our feelings without judgement was huge. We all got it and understood completely. We are all friends today and still get together to have laughs and do a check in. Hope floats is amazing to offer this to get people through the toughest thing in their life.

I attended a bereavement group in 2014, several months after the death of my spouse. There were men and women ages 40's to 80. This group saved my life. There was never any pressure, only encouragement, empathy and support. Even though the group was 6 weeks long, we still get together for dinners out, concerts, the yearly memory walk for Hope Floats and other excursions. I consider every person I met my friend, part of my extended family. Even though we have moved on with our lives, we continue to support each other through our facebook page and group texts. Words cannot express the gratitude and admiration I have for the Brack's for what they have done and continue to do.

As a client of Hope Floats I have been blessed to be able to participate in individual and group grief counselling sessions as well as rejuvenating yoga classes. The counselors at Hope Floats provided support to me and my children after the death of my husband. They provided a welcoming and safe environment for each of us to discuss our grief.
I also attended a group program for people that had lost a spouse/partner. Although emotionally difficult at times, it was extremely helpful to work through situations with a group of people that truly understood my situation. The program lead had also experienced the loss of a spouse. He was very helpful in sharing his experiences and providing a setting where each person could participate as little/much as they felt able on that day.
I have also taken a number of the wellness yoga classes, and love the experience and relaxing periods.
Thank you to the staff at Hope Floats for helping me in my healing journey.

Hope Floats Healing and Wellness is a haven of hope for those whose hearts are hurting. Over the past seven years since my son died, I have attended Child Loss support groups, yoga classes, workshops and private counseling sessions. The staff, facilitators and counselors are all people who understand grief and loss (most from
personal experience) and are trained to support others who are grieving.
In Hope Floats, the Brack family has created a community of caring, loving people who provide a light for those who need it.
I am so grateful to have Hope Floats in my life and recommend it to others in need.

Took a yoga class several years ago, which was great! They have a beautiful facility!
Then they sent out very uplifting emails during the pandemic! It was very supportive during a very difficult time.

My daughter and I attended bereavement group at Hope Floats for many years! It helped us both so much , guiding us through our grief journey all along the way! Having people that actually understood what we were feeling and going through the same process as us is just the most helpful thing about Hope Floats . Being around others that shared our same grief was so special.
After attending group for about 8 years , we both volunteered at Hope Floats to help pay it forward and assist others with their own grief journey!

My sisters and I were the first group to attend. We had suffer through many deaths but the worst was losing my 21 year old nephew. We know we had to help his mom, our sister and heard about Hope Floats and decided to give it a try. We were met at the door by an angel named Denise who welcomed us in. She included all of us in the session and made us feel welcome.
We crawled through the front doors broken with grief and a few years later walked out with hope for a better life in our hearts.
Out of her own heartbreak Denise taught us the tools to cope. We cried and cried and laughed and cried some more. We have forged friendships that remain today.
If you are in the depths of grief. Go to Hope Floats. Maybe you can see how Denise hides her wings under her clothes. ,

On January 9, 2011 my 21 year old daughter Katie passed away unexpectedly. It is the most devastating event that has ever happened to me and It can’t be compared to anything. I wandered through the first weeks and months with my husband beside me but I couldn’t get myself beyond the grief that had consumed me. I then read about this place in Kingston,MA that people were talking about and I looked them up. I read Denise’s story and found that I was not alone. I read that there was going to be a retreat for mothers that have lost children and I decided to go. I talked to a friend who had recently lost her daughter to breast cancer and we went together. I am so glad I went. This retreat was filled with love and empathy from other mothers who were just Ike me. I called this day my turning point. I will always grieve the loss of my sweet Katie but I have learned that i am suppose to. Denise and everyone at Hope Floats will always be so special to me and I am forever grateful. ❤️

Hope Floats is such a unique and special place. I have been both a volunteer and a participant for several support groups over the years. Grief can be so lonely and isolating and Hope Floats helps you see you are not alone. Denise, Ken and the entire group of volunteers are the most wonderful people you will ever meet.

This story comes from my heart. I am so very grateful for Hope Floats Healing and Wellness Center and all that it has to offer. A year ago our family tragically lost our daughters 21 year old son, our grand son. The grief for our grandson and the pain for our daughter was unbearable. I needed support and somewhere I would feel comfortable to talk about my feelings. I live in Kingston and had heard about Hope Floats. I called Denise Brack founder and instantly felt her compassion and understanding. She recommended one of the counselors and I started meeting weekly with her. I was slowly and gently guided with her help to deal with my grief. Without her help moving forward would have been more difficult. Hope Floats offers support groups, healing classes, body treatments all in a quiet serine setting. I recommend Hope Floats for anyone dealing with the loss of a love one.

My saving grace after losing my daughter, Ali, in 2013. These people are the reason I’m still standing, and actually still smiling and sometimes even enjoying life again. Life will never be the same without my beautiful daughter, but Hope Floats will always be my forever bond, and gave me some amazing people in my life! Shout out and big hugs and thanks to Ken and Denise Brack! Thank you for sharing your grief and your hearts with all of us❤️❤️❤️

I was in on one of the earliest groups for grief quite a few years ago sponsored by Denise Brack and Hope Floats. To say that this group had a strong positive impact on my life shortly after my brother passed away from pancreatic cancer at age 57
is an understatement.
Approxiimately 10 years has
passed and to this day, I think of Denise and all my fellow group participants with love in my heart for
all that they gave me, including
patience, understanding, love and surprisingly, humor and laughter.

It was a difficult task to get me through one of the most darkest periods of my life.
I will always be grateful to Hope Floats, Denise Brack and all the women in our small group.
Thank you to all from the bottom of my heart.
It is a special and peaceful feeling knowing that Hope Floats is there if needed again!!

In gratitude,

When my daughter died from ovarian cancer 7 years ago, I needed support. I found Hope Floats which offered free bereavement groups. I was able to join a group where every other person had lost a child including the two co-facilitators. It was such a comfort to be with people who understood exactly what I was dealing with. Now, 7 years later I am a
co-facilitator of a group and it feeds me to give back. Hope Floats also has many healing offerings like meditation groups, sound healing, yoga , special inspirational speakers, Reiki share and others. It is a wonderful balance with the bereavement groups. I have watched
Hope Floats grow to serve children who have lost someone close to them and those who are dealing with a loved one who has a terminal illness. This is just the tip of the iceberg of all that Hope Floats offers the community. There is not another place around our area that offers so much .

Hope Floats became our sanctuary after the death of our son. I always recommend this place for bereaved families. There are not enough resources out there for grief, and I'll always be grateful for Hope Floats.

This Place is a beacon of light that shines brightly.

“Of all human experiences, none is more overwhelming in its implications than death.”

Such words couldn’t have been more true after the loss of our twin boys.
With indescribable sadness, we found a beacon of safety & security in Hope Floats.

To be with compassionate, like minded people who were grieving the loss of their child meant more than words could express.

My family owes a tremendous gratitude to such a warm & supportive place to be ourselves & to “take off our masks” for a short time to truly feel the feelings in order to heal.

Denise is a devoted, talented and intelligent leader of the Hope Floats organization. Her kindness and willingness to share her personal tragedy to help others heal is inspirational. Oftentimes there is no where to turn when faced with such an overwhelming loss, Denise and her organization lend a lifesaving hand to those in need.

This organization is amazing! It’s purpose is to help those in need; grieving and dealing with loss. This a calm and safe place when the world seems hopeless. Denise and Ken have such kind hearts and they have taken their grief and created a way to cope by helping those in need.

Hope Floats Support group and Denise were a blessing to me.I sought comfort and understanding there after the sudden passing of my beloved 31 year old Daughter. It was a peaceful and kind haven where I could share my grief with others who sadly,"get it". I am so thankful for Hope Floats. ������������������

Hope Floats is an amazing organization of people that help families daily who are trying to deal with grief and unexpected life situations.
It is incredible to see the heartfelt efforts that are put into each and every program.
I am hopeful that Hope Floats will continue to be recognized for the truly amazing work that is done each and every day.

We found Hope Floats after the unexpected loss of our 18 year old son. Denise and the volunteers along with the beautiful men and woman who were part of our healing group were instrumental in our journey. We are thankful we found them when we did - not sure where we would be today had we not worked through our grief. The other side is hard and there are no answers, but there is Hope

I look forward to going to hope floats I am a mom that has lost 2 children to overdose, I have met a wonderful group there I guess we all understand each other with our loss we all know this unforgiving heartache

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this organization! It’s been 4 months since I lost my daughter and the progress I’ve made in my grief because of Hope Floats is amazing. I’ve been spreading the word about this place since the moment I went to my first support session there. What makes this place so unique is that all the sessions are peer lead, meaning all of the leaders have had a similar loss which allows you to connect with them and know you aren’t alone. The meetings are also held in a home setting rather than a confrence room in an office building, and there are so many additional healing programs they offer outside of the traditional support group. This truly is a healing center and has a wonderful sense of community that you just feel welcomed, accepted, and a sense of belonging right from the start. I plan on volunteering here once I’m in a position to help others. That’s how much I love this place!

Hope Floats runs a program for women dealing with cancer. This program offers a safe place to discuss your feelings, side effects, and experiences. It also pampers you and takes you away for a day of facials, massage, yoga and other alternative therapies. You leave feeling better all around. A day for recharging and learning new coping skills from women you share with. Not to mention a delightful luncheon together.

I have been involved with Hope Floats for many years. The services they provide are far above any I have seen. The classes, workshops, support groups, and other services are a topic of conversation throughout the state. Their offerings are both classic and innovative always leaving the participants with positive feelings . I feel honored to have been both a participant as well as a service provider for Hope Floats. As a Community Leader and a Social Worker I can attest to the met needs in the community. Their mission is one I am passionate about and I hope they are able to provide and grow their services for many years to come.

Hope Floats is a wonderful gift to those going through the bereavement process. Ken and Denise are wonderful, compassionate souls that understand the different levels of grief.

The compassion is unconditional and endless. They saved my heart and soul

Hope Floats provided a safe haven for me after the unexpected passing of my husband. Through the workshops, classes and open doors, I was able to become comfortable on my new path within a healthy loving environment that the Bracks had made available. In my line of work, I come across quite a bit of clientele who have come face to face with loss in their lives and because of the love and good intentions provided at Hope Floats, I regularly recommend their services to my clientele in need. My little part of the world is a better place because of Hope Floats.

Hope Floats is an amazing non-profit who helps heal people of all ages. The staff is wonderful, kind, caring and truly passionate about helping people and providing a safe environment. The property is beautiful and calming with the labyrinth, landscape and new play set for kids.

As a former hospice volunteerI have offered alternative healing services at Hope Floats for years. I was involved in starting the Healing Circle which still provides monthly healing and meditation on a donation basis to those who seek comfort and community. I still take part in the annual Kid's Camp each summer providing reiki to parents of sick kids. Hope Floats is a special place that offers unique services and who spirit of love and acceptance and hope can be felt by all who step inside the buildings or who walk the gardens or labyrinth. It is home to angels both human and divine . It is a magical place of solace and love born out of the deep loss of two to offer healing to many.

Came here with my sister in law after the death of her son. I also lost a child in 2004. My sister in laws grief was new, and so raw, and mine, I learned, was not fully dealt with. While there, I felt acknowledged recognized, respected, and most of all understood. The support and the love that I experienced and found there was so healing to me, and it was also the place that I knew my sister-in-law needed to be during the all consuming grief that she was experiencing. My experience there was so healing, it is somewhere that I would not hesitate for a second recommend to somebody experiencing the pain of grief, because these people kindly and with so much love and expertise help you bear that weight and start to heal.

Hope Floats is AMAZING! I have been there several times.. each time I met the most kind, caring and compassionate healers. Having, lost my parents and many friends Hope Floats was able to guide me through my grief.. I brought my neice also and it gave her great peace and hope for her future!

The best place! I wouldn’t know what to do with out hope floats. They helped me so much when my son died of suicide! I am so grateful for this organization and recommend them to everyone!

Denise and Ken Brack have heroically turned the loss of their son into creating a haven and healing center for those whose lives have been altered by tragedy. This amazing center, Hope Floats, offers a vast array of healing services and emotional support to those who seek it. Their place is truly a lifeline to those in need.

Hope Floats has been an amazing support system for my family after the loss of my husband. I truly believe that the programs they offer have helped us cope with this sudden, unexpected loss.

Hope floats is an amazing place has helped me and so many. A place so many can go and feel you are not alone. Talk with people who understand. Highly recommend to anyone who maybe grieving or may need support and just talk

Denise and Ken Brack run the most amazing and helpful organization to the grief stricken. I lost my firefighting son to occupational cancer in 2015 and began attending child loss sessions in January 2017 at Hope Floats. It was the first place I felt relief in being able to talk about what was killing me inside and not being judged because of those feelings. Hope Floats helps heal both your mind and your body. Someone is always available just to listen and help you through a rough spot. Why? Because, unfortunately, they have all experienced the same horrible grief. In my estimation, Hope Floats is literally a life line at the worst time in your life. Thank you Denise and Ken.

As a police officer and serving in a nearby town it has been an honor to get to know those at Hope Floats. Never an easy situation dealing with loss. Definitely one of the hardest parts of the job. Having this wonderful caring Oasis to refer people to is a godsend. Having been on the property it is amazing how you can immediately feel the love and care that is there. My heart truly aches for those in need of such care and at the same time it is warmed that such people are there in that time. Hope Floats , Thank you for being here . Y’all are very much appreciated. Jim T.

I am a volunteer at Hope Floats and have been blessed by the wonderful energy and healing that has taken place. I have witnessed many people in their struggle to deal with the passing of a loved one. The support people receive and the genuine caring given by all at Hope Floats has been an inspiration and a true guiding force in my own life. From one on one appointments to group events and the annual walk, the circle of love and healing grows and enrichs the community and beyond. It is a privledge to be a part of this wonderful place.

Denise and Ken Brack are two of the most unselfish people that I have ever met. They reach out to others to help them through some of the most difficult and heart breaking times that anyone can experience. Their kindness and compassion in dealing with these tragic events in peoples lives serves as an example to all of us, they both deserve to be recognized for their commitment to others and assisted in their outreach programs that have helped so many people face personal tragedies by their caring and support with the many bereavement programs that are offered at Hope Floats and Wellness Center,Inc.

Hope Floats was a strong presence when we needed something and didn't know what. Caring, listening, giving, and open arms to all. This organization fills a gap when others didn't even know there WAS a gap. A physical place to go and hug someone who understands, a spiritual place to go when there are no words, a leaning place to go and be interested and connect with others who are learning how to be ok too.

When I lost both of my parents within couple of months, Hope Floats was a wonderful source of support. I attended a "Grief During the Holidays" group, and appreciated all the other healing, comforting services they provide.

Hope Floats is amazing. I lost my daughter Evelyn in July 2015. She was born 3 months premature and passed away 3 1/2 weeks after birth from a lung infection. Devastated doesn’t even begin to cover what I was. I have attended many support groups and grief counseling sessions with Hope Floats and their love, support, and understanding have helped me to navigate this long road of grief. They have helped so many families and individuals with all that they do and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.

My friend Lynnette and I have attended many events at hope floats from tablet tipping, mdicine wheel classes, mediumship as well as spending a night at Hope floats as we grappled wit loss. Hope Floats is an avenue for healing and spiritual expansion that exceeds any other spiritual center I have attended events at.

I found Hope Floats Healing & Wellness Center a few months after lossing my 24 year old son. There are not many community organizations that recognize and work in the grief space outside of Hospice programs. However, too many people lose loved ones suddenly and do not have the interaction with Hospice. Support while grieving is vital for healing, especially for families who suffered a traumatic loss.

Hope Float provides many different access points for grievers to connect. They have peer-to-peer support for adults, clinician facilitated support for children, healing and wellness group activities, they have an annual memory walk and gala and so much more.

The people who work and volunteer at Hope Floats are amazingly compassionate, caring and because Hope Floats was founded by grieving parents, as a parent, you immediately feel a connection and understanding.

Over the past few years the programs have continued to expand I feel that is a testament to the impact they have in supporting families. I am so grateful to be one of those families and to have found Hope Floats.

Wonderful place to get healing and support for loss of a loved one.

It is a privilege to support Hope Floats Healing & Wellness Center as a volunteer at the annual Memory Walk. Denise and Ken Brack, along with all of the facilitators and practitioners, are dedicated to achieving the mission of Hope Floats to help people cope with loss, support healing and nurture well-being. Hope Floats is an incredibly beautiful place that fosters connections among people coping with loss and practice self-care.

I found my way to Hope Floats 9 years ago, as a practitioner. What Ken and Denise built in tribute and honor of their son, Michael, continues to inspire and amaze me. After losing my own son almost 4 years ago, I appreciate even more the wonderful work that they do to bring so much help and healing to those who are grieving.
