About Relent(less)

Navigating through grief is neither linear nor predictable; it’s more like a dance between relenting and being relentless.

At times, grief requires us to surrender to our feelings, to accept the depths of our loss, and to be gentle with ourselves. At other times, it calls on us to find our inner strength, to advocate for ourselves and others, and to hold onto hope, even when it feels elusive.

The beauty of grief word titled “Relent(less)” lies in its recognition of this delicate balance.

It’s about creating a space where couples can come together to share their stories of both surrender and strength, acknowledging that grief can push and pull us in many directions, and that there is power and healing in experiencing and accepting the full range of these emotions.

Relent(less) was created to meet the profound need for support among couples after perinatal loss, born from Brooke’s deeply personal experience. In addition to Brooke’s most treasured role of a therapist, she is a wife to her high school sweetheart and a mother to two energetic boys and a baby girl. Brooke has embraced the roles of foster mom, adoptive mom, miscarriage mom, and stillbirth mom. Her multifaceted journey through motherhood has shaped her in profound ways, helping her grow into a more compassionate therapist, friend, and individual.

After the loss of their son at birth, Brooke and Jesse found hope through an intensive support group that they joined together, helping them navigate the difficult journey of healing after perinatal loss. The impact of that experience, combined with the realization of how rare such resources were, inspired them to create a similar safe haven for others. This led to the birth of Relent(less), which offers perinatal loss intensives for couples in metro Detroit, with a mission to make these services accessible to everyone. Imagine a day dedicated to navigating the impact grief has had on your relationship, separating your child from the trauma of your loss and learning to honor their life (and your new life and partnership) in ways that feel more peaceful and joyful.
