Marcie's Story
Marcie’s son, Sgt. Donovan Holliday, was only 24 when his life was taken in an accident. She describes him as “an amazing, impactful young man” and carries the weight of all the roles he filled—Marine, father, husband, son, and more. Marcie attends weekly therapy and has found some support through GriefShare and Compassionate Friends, but the pain remains. She’s coming to the retreat seeking support and guidance—hoping to find a way to keep living without deepening the ache she already carries.
