Club W
Club W is a widow's group that can offer you
understanding, friendship, inspiration, and
encouragement as you learn how to live without the
person with whom you intended to spend the rest of
your life. We want you to know you are not alone. Connecting with
other widowed people makes the challenges of surviving a spouse or
partner a little easier to manage.
As widows helping other widows, we offer activities, newsletters,
luncheons, fun and games, events, monthly speakers, and more.
Together, we help each other with hope, healing, and a new pathway
to widowhood. We want to transform loss into positivity, caring,
loving and a willingness to survive.
Grief can be like a tidal wave at times just a slow incoming tide.
Great love always equals a sense of great loss, but you need to reach
out for help, accept help when it is offered, and especially take good
care of yourself. Stay connected.
Talk about your loved one with anyone who will listen. Talk about
them with other people who miss them. Keep talking to keep those
memories alive. You will always miss your partner, but someday it
won't hurt as much as it does right now. The journey is hard, but
there is love and light on the other side.
We meet the third Saturday of most months at 10 am in Abravanel
Hall for coffee, and interesting speakers. Membership is $10/year.
Social contact is a powerful tool for widows.
