Barbie's Story
Barbie lost her sister, Kimberly, after years of acting as her full-time caregiver and legal guardian. Following a series of traumatic events that began with assaults and hospitalizations, Kimberly’s health declined until her passing. Barbie has been immersed in advocacy work ever since, even founding a nonprofit in her sister’s name.
While she’s participated in grief counseling and art therapy, Barbie shared that caring for her sister began shortly after losing her father—and she never truly had space to process either loss. She’s attending the retreat in hopes of finally beginning that journey.
