Fourth Thursday of Month (FMM) - Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting - June

Our topic this month is: "Journey of a Widow at The W Connection"

We know that widowhood is hard work.  We also know that there is no playbook for widows and each widow moves through this journey in her own way by her own timeline. 

When you join this meeting, look around our virtual room at this extraordinary group of women of all ages, all backgrounds, and all walks of life who made the choice to show up.  Look at what connects you to each other.  We are all navigating widowhood uniquely, but together.  

Be proud of the choice you made to join The W Connection, to step into the meeting, to connect with other women as you move forward on this journey.  These are all STEPS on your journey that you are courageoulsy taking to Move Forward.

For this topic, we will discuss the material in the meeting and  you can listen to Dawn's Video on the topic, here
