Our Christian faith is at the heart of who we are. At Life4Widows, we uplift, encourage and support one another. However, Life 4 Widows is no ordinary Widows Support Group. Our approach to widowhood is unique. It’s creative, dynamic and full of ideas that fulfil and exceed the typical expectations of what a widows support group should be.

We resolved that ours would be a different kind of friendship. One that we would always be there for each other, ‘no matter what’ and that would go the extra mile because ‘each widow matters’.

With this positive mind set and attitude, our quarterly gatherings and annual events are now attended by women from all sorts of backgrounds. We create a safe, supportive environment where they can grieve, share the everyday difficulties of living without a spouse, bringing up children alone, emotional issues and many other related challenges.

We provide an opportunity for a deep emotional heart to heart talk (what we call ‘Soul Talk’) which we handle with great care, sensitivity and confidentiality.
Special friendships have developed among members, and we continue to impact each other’s daily lives. We invest time in visiting each other, especially new Widows to help them feel less isolated and reduce their sense of despondency.
