In 2016, I retired from a 30 year career in fundraising, most recently for the University of Michigan Health System, to join my husband in leading our family business. In early 2017, my husband passed away -- suddenly and unexpectedly. I'm now in a new phase of my life -- much, much sooner than I ever expected. I'm leading our business, and with the help of family and friends, moving forward. I expressed interest in attending a Jewish spirituality retreat and my son-in-law suggested the National Jewish Retreat.
