Our Founder

- -
Our non-profit organization appreciates dedicated volunteers and contributing sponsors.
  • We are all widows or widowers offering support to each other to rebuild our lives.

  • We are not professionals, nor a 12-step grief program, with no religious affiliation.

  • We share how we have dealt with loss and where we are in the grieving process.
