Walking With
Widows Through Grief
Paisley Project embraces widows following the loss of a spouse, using evidence-based resources, community and coaching to empower widows to navigate grief, redefine their identities, and engage in future possibilities.
Daily Support
for Widows and Helpers
Whether you are a widow or a friend or family member, our Text Support Line is open 7 days a week. No emergency necessary. We’re here to talk, listen, and offer support.
Healing Retreats
and Events for Widows
We believe community is incredibly important. No widow should have to walk her journey alone. We offer multi-day retreats country-wide as well as free events throughout the year.
Compassionate
Coaching for Widows
We offer packages for widows who want to work with a trained coach (and widow) who can help navigate the challenges of loss and create a hopeful, meaningful path forward.
The Paisley Project Story
Paisley Project began with one widow’s story. After losing her husband, Karyl McKendry, found herself navigating grief without a roadmap.
She created the kind of support she wished had existed for her: a space where widows could be seen, heard, and guided by others who truly understand.
Today, Paisley Project offers coaching, retreats, community, and daily encouragement — all rooted in the belief that healing is possible when we walk together.
