Not a W Connection member, but want to join us for this meaningful discussion?

Our Peer-Led Support TOPIC Meetings are geared towards newer widows who are feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of their loss. 

These meetings are facilitated by trained peer volunteers in a safe and confidential environment and are meant to help us find new tools and strategies for confronting the challenges of widowhood –including Leveraging Your Character Strengths, Building Your Resilience, Overcoming Loneliness, Processing Grief, Anger, Guilt. Post Traumatic Growth, Rediscovering Our Identities. We offer the same topic discussion at least 5 times each month with a rotating group of peer-co-hosts.  

One meeting each month is specifically geared to Young Widows. 

In this month’s topic meetings, we explore “The Concept of Letting Go.”

Our Wellness Webinars and Workshops focus on the health and wellness needs of our membership. The Webinars are led by experts in their fields. The Workshops showcase the healing strategies practiced and demonstrated by our own members.  Past subjects have included Your Brain on Grief, Mindfulness, Yoga & Strength, Physical Health & the Widow, and Financial Strategies for Widows.

Not a W Connection member, but want to chat with girlfriends who get it?

Our W Chats are geared towards widows who are further along their journeys.  They are proud that they are moving forward and ready to reinvent and reimagine their futures.  This month we continue on this track of “New Possibilities during our W Chat summer meetings–with particular attention to expanding our social circles and activities.  (Here at the W Connection, we have truly learned first-hand about the healing power of social connection).

May is a great time to start some summer social planning–enjoyable gatherings we might not have been able to contemplate last summer.  Bring your ideas about doing some summer socializing –whether it’s bringing these festivities back into your home, organizing a summer picnic…and more. 

We hope you join us to share ideas, support, and some inspiration for creating some valuable social gatherings this summer.

W Chat occurs the third Tuesday of every month at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00pm PM PT.

Our W Book Club GEM volunteers have picked a fascinating early summer read.

The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It

Have you ever tasted the very old and very famous champagne Veuve Clicquot? Did you know that “Veuve” in French means widow?  

The Widow Clicquot is the captivating true story of a woman legend and visionary, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin. After her young husband dies, she defies convention (it’s the early 1800’s in France) and assumes the reigns of the fledgling wine business that they had nurtured together. She becomes one of the world’s first great businesswomen and one of the richest women of her time
