Our vision is to create a strong network of widows. We open the door to a new world for widows, ensuring they do not go through their experience alone, but with life-long connections and lasting support. Our help comes from going through the same and similar loss, our hearts open and compassionate. We help each other to heal by telling our stories, and by being available to listen.
