For decades, health practitioners have employed a stress evaluation tool called The Social Readjustment Stress Scale, which weighs the stress impact of 43 different life events. Also known the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale named for the psychiatrists who designed the test, each life event has a different ‘weight’ score for stress.

On a scale of 1 to 100, the only life event that assigns a stress score of 100 is “the loss of a spouse.”

Beyond the need to connect, W Connection helps our members get educated about the impact of becoming widowed on our physical and emotional/social health, as well as our financial health.

The W Connection Wellness Webinars and Workshops are the cornerstone of our Educational Programming. Every month we offer new learning opportunities available to all our members. Our events for the month are found on our Find a Meeting Page
