April 16 - Weekly Peer Support Group for Widow(er)s (Virtual Zoom Meeting)

Hello Widow Care Members!

Given the restrictions posed by COVID-19, we have started hosting the Peer Support Groups on a weekly basis via Zoom for the time being. The virtual meetings are open to widows and widowers of all ages.

We believe that it is very important to have a space to open up about your pain and to find support from people who understand your grief, especially during challenging times like these. It can be hard to find the right time to sit down and speak about our feelings, which is why we host support events like this. The goal is to focus on talking and listening to one another and lifting each other up.

Here is the agenda for the support group:

-Discuss group guidelines to ensure safety and confidentiality

-Icebreakers for getting to know each other and feel comfortable

-The floor will then be opened to anyone who wants to speak about whatever is on their mind-- resurfaced memories, grief, new relationships, whatever it may be

-Close out the session and offer print materials, including grief resources, other support groups, partner services, etc.

We are still working out alternatives for social events that we would normally host in person, but we will do our best to get this information to you as soon as it becomes available.

We invite you to RSVP for this event. Once you RSVP, you will receive a Zoom link and Meeting ID to join the call at the scheduled time. Please be aware that the start time has been changed from 6:30pm to 7:00pm. We appreciate you joining the call before the scheduled start time because the meeting will begin promptly at 7:00pm.

Please contact info@widowcare.org if you did not receive a Zoom link or if you have any other questions.

Thank you and God bless!

-The Widow Care Team
