Extra Monthly Topic Meeting (EMTM) - Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting

Our topic this month is: "Embracing Change and Transformation"

Widows helping widows rebuild our lives is our brave and absolute mission here at the W Connection.  

• Rebuilding has so many meanings. Re-inventing, re-imagining, re-constructing.
• Rebuilding tests our courage and our character strengths that we may not believe we have.  
• Rebuilding is an intentional state of mind.  It is the foundation for change and transformation.  

In preparation for these meetings, our Topic Committee volunteers suggest the following articles: 

NYT: How to Build Resilience in Hard Times

Psychology Today: Cultivating Wellbeing
