The loss of a partner can leave a profound void, but within a community, we can find the strength to move forward. “From Partners to Networks” is a workshop crafted for widowed individuals seeking to build and strengthen their support systems in the face of grief. This session is a heartfelt invitation to discover the resilience that comes from communal bonds.

In this workshop, we’ll guide you through the process of mapping out your existing support network and identifying potential areas for growth. We’ll discuss the importance of diverse support—emotional, practical, and spiritual—and how to effectively communicate your needs to those around you. Learn how to nurture your current relationships and set healthy boundaries that respect your journey through bereavement.

We’ll also explore ways to expand your network, discover the diversity of groups available, find online communities, and events that can become new sources of support. Through shared stories and interactive discussions, you’ll see how collective experiences can foster healing and growth.

Leave with an actionable plan to enhance your support network, a list of valuable resources, and the beginnings of new, meaningful connections. “From Partners to Networks” is your pathway to finding comfort and understanding within a community that can hold space for your loss and help you embrace the future with renewed hope.
