Young Widows - Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting (Third Wednesday of Month) - Oct
Description
🗓️ Update: Peer-Led Topic Meeting for Young Widows
Our monthly Peer-Led Topic Meeting—created with younger widows in mind—now meets on the third Wednesday of each month.
Come Join Us! You decide if this circle feels right for you. We'd be honored to have you join!
Peer Led Support Topic Meetings
Our topic this month is: "Continuing Bonds: Finding Our Self-Balance"
We hear it often: “I just want life to feel the way it did when my partner was here.”
That longing is real. And so is the challenge of keeping those beautiful memories present while finding the courageto rebuild, recreate, and reimagine life without our loved ones physically beside us.
💙 In this meeting, we’ll explore:
How do we carry our bonds forward as we shape new futures?
What does it look like to heal while staying connected to the love that shaped us?
How do we create Self-Balance --the deeply personal practice of honoring our memories while opening ourselves to new possibilities.
