Articles and musings on what it’s like to be a widow, stories of acceptance, healing, and hope for right now and in the future, and guidance through our L.I.V.E. framework.
Questions with Karyl
These are real questions and real challenges. What many widows don't realize is that countless others are asking these same questions. Yet widows often don't know where to turn. They fear judgment from well-meaning family and friends who, despite caring deeply, simply don't "get it." They may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable asking, and there seems to be nowhere to find answers.
Paisley Pillars of Healing
Research shows that these activities transform grief into resilience and our six Pillars of Healing are embedded in every activity and program we offer. Each on its own provides relief and supports a widow’s well-being, providing a stable, grounding place to rest. Combined, they hold space for healing, like then pillars of a building hold up the roof, containing and describing an open protected space within.
Books, Books, Books
Next time when the hours loom long and large, see if any of these books become friends.
And if you are the supporter of a widow, volunteer to read them with her.
