2022 May/June 3SENIOR CENTER 4 PROGRAM OF THE MONTH
Widow’s Support Group
Widowhood is a journey. At first it must be endured. With support
from friends, family, clergy, and caring groups, it can become a
status to be experienced. Experienced doesn’t mean that all the
heart mending is achieved. It means that a widowed person has
accepted that change is necessary…and without acceptance,
pain continues to be debilitating.
Our purpose in the Senior Center Widow’s Support Group is for
widowhood to be embraced.
Our loved ones will never be forgotten, but with time and
awareness, a widow can move into open-mindedness.
This is a time when a widow can become more than she
ever expected to be. New activities can be adventures.
What new fun is possible? Who might be a new friend?
Is there still a place for “purpose” in her life? And might a
loving spirit be re-ignited?
The group meets the second and fourth Fridays of each
month when no holidays interfere. The facilitator, Judy
Jennings, presents information from her own books and
other well written books and articles. Expert professionals
are invited to talk on topics especially relevant to single women: financial information, counseling,
community resources and other topics.
Judy strongly advocates a
sense of gratitude and more
so, A SENSE OF HUMOR.
“We laugh regularly. It is a
good medicine for the soul.”
If this information
generates questions, Laura
Grissom can address any
concerns. Or readers
