Next Meeting: September 2009

Our group was formed in 2003 as a way to offer peer support for local women and men in the greater Boston area who have lost a spouse. We discuss the issues surrounding the death of a spouse and ways to move forward in life. Finding yourself widowed at any age is an isolating experience, this group provides support in many ways to make you feel connected. Please feel free to browse our site or contact our organizer for help.
Thank you..
