We are a support group for widows led by widows.
Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for widows to be themselves, come together and share their experiences, offer encouragement and comfort, and build a sense of community.
Our Message to Widows:
We will LISTEN to you… even when you find yourself repeating the same things over and over again.
We will LISTEN to you… even when others have told you to “move on”.
As fellow widows, we understand that:
- All widows grieve differently.
- There is no set timeline for healing.
- The festive seasons may be a difficult time for you.
Through our regular fellowship gatherings, we aim to offer a non-judgmental space where you can speak honestly about your feelings and receive support from those who truly understand what you are going through.
We also run a “buddy” system which involves pairing each widow with another member of Widow to Widow, who would become their "buddy." The buddies would be responsible for checking in on each other regularly, providing a listening ear, and offering encouragement and support.
If you decide that it may benefit you to speak to a trained counsellor, we offer referrals to professional counsellors who are experienced in helping widows navigate through their grief journey.
We are committed to creating a community that uplifts and empowers one another. Whether you have recently lost a spouse or are further along in your grief journey, we welcome you to join us and find solace in the company of others who understand.
Volunteers needed
Are you a widow seeking to make a positive impact in the lives of other widows? No matter how much time you can spare, your contribution will be invaluable to those who need it most.
We are looking for widows who are willing to volunteer their time in providing emotional support and practical assistance to their fellow widows. Experience is not required - all you need is a compassionate heart and a desire to help others.
If you're interested, we would love to tell you more about how you can get involved and make a difference today.
