MISSION

Welcome to NATIONAL WIDOWS ASSOCIATION!

                                                       Mission Statement:
The National Widows Association is dedicated to creating awareness, fostering community, and providing vital support and resources to empower widows. We strive to integrate their needs into community and governmental awareness, ensuring their voices are heard and their contributions recognized.

About Us

Our Team

Our amazing team of widows and widowers is dedicated to connecting, comforting, and catapulting those who have experienced one of the most devastating life events.  We are continually looking for those who want to become part of our team to expand and extend our supportive community to those who need it most.

Our History

Seeing a need for intentional and effective focus on the widow, we formed our nonprofit organization to provide sensible solutions, build a supportive community, and provide resources that will help widows continue to thrive in their next phase of life. 

Our Mission

Because widowhood is an often overlooked group in society, and is a major source of poverty, our mission is to galvanize resources and the community to assist, inform, and inspire this community.  We help widows/widowers pursue the most productive, meaningful, and fulfilling life that they can achieve despite having experienced one of the most devastating life events.

      We don't move on from grief...

      In a talk that's by turns heartbreaking and hilarious, writer and podcaster Nora McInerny shares her hard-earned wisdom about life and death. Her candid approach to something that will, let's face it, affect us all, is as liberating as it is gut-wrenching. Most powerfully, she encourages us to shift how we approach grief. "A grieving person is going to laugh again and smile again," she says. "They're going to move forward. But that doesn't mean that they've moved on."
