Widows of Worth

“Two are better than one…if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Widows of Worth is about widows coming alongside one another in their unique journey, because we are always stronger when we travel together.

Widows Helping Widows on the Journey is a series of classes offered in the Fall and Spring quarters to women who recently entered widowhood or to those who lost their spouse a while ago yet still struggle in their healing.  The class will be led by widows who are further along in their journey of grief.  We hope to offer comfort as you wrestle with the intense emotions surrounding your husband’s death, to give practical suggestions to resolve the new and unique challenges we all face, and to offer hope that, although life will never be the same, there can still be joy in your future.
