Young Widows and Widowers Meetup Group-CT

Support and social group for young widows, widowers, and all those who have lost their significant others. Gather for sharing, mutual support and healing. Especially appealing to people UNDER 50 who are now single parents (though no age restriction is enforced). This is the place to come to share your story and find help dealing with the significant changes a spouse's death brings about. WE UNDERSTAND! Group input is strongly solicited for event planning.

  • "Thanks Dunja. I wish I could meet you all and talk to all of you. It is much easier to see someone in person than to even talk on the phone. Unfortunately I have not found any such support groups here in Tennessee. I do however have a group support I will start today sponsored by one of the local hospitals. Wish me luck and thanks again"

Life seems to have a way of moving on whether you want it to or not, so I keep trying to move forward. When my time comes, I will go quietly, waiting patiently just to see her again. Peace be unto you and your family."
