First Monday of Month (FMM) - Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting - January
Description
Peer Led Support Topic Meetings
How can we help one another learn that struggling with grief and fostering hope are not mutually exclusive?
We recognize that many widows lose hope after the death of their partners--this is a completely normal reaction after loss.
We start this month's topic meeting defining hope (trust that things are going to get better), and how to be open to pursuing it. Our first steps might be small and short-lived, but we need to find ways to both nurture hope and restore it.
During these topic meetings--and with support and encouragement from one another--we will focus on both looking for and nurturing the Seeds of Hope.

About Me: I think kindness, compassion and positivity is so important. Instead of finding the glass half full or half empty, I find the glass refillable. I have 2 Daughters, 2 Fantastic sons in law and 2 grandchildren.
Interests: Reading and Walking, which morphed into walking with my headphones on while listening to books ever since COVID started—what a delightful coping strategy for me!
Works well with: empty nesters and widows who want to learn and grow and move forward with purpose.
