Every Year May 3rd is National Widow’s Day. Our goal for National Widow’s Day has always been to educate – to raise awareness of National Widow’s day and the cause of widow’s in America and around the world. We want to show widows that people DO care and DO want to help and support and it IS a blessing to the volunteer to bless the widow. We also want to show volunteers that it’s more than big projects, financial blessing, or time spent but there are unrealized needs in both widows and volunteers that get met when we step out and build relationship. These needs can get met when we take time to connect, listen, and help. If this moves you please take the initiative and find a widow in your community and build a relationship. If you’re a widow, reach out to other widows, be open to building relationships with those in your community who reach out. There may be pain and vulnerability but when we push past shame we can find benefits that out shine the hard things.
