Annual Interactive Weekend

   The Widowed Friends annual interactive weekend is held each spring. The weekend includes guest speakers who present topics and tools pertaining to healing and personal growth for widows and widowers at any stage of bereavement. Social interactions and prayer make this a meaningful time for all who attend.

                     Comments from previous weekends:

    "I appreciated everyone's candor and honesty.  As I leave, I look at everyone with different eyes."

    "Beneficial to affirm our feelings...reassure us that we are okay.  Received tips and ideas from each other." 

    "It was great to have experts speaking to us and peer help in the small groups -- a great combination."

    "This weekend was a great experience for me as I was able to share my feelings with everyone who knew exactly how I was feeling.  Reality!"

    "The (small group) facilitators were extremely helpful and good at focusing attention on specific needs."

    "I was touched at how much the committee members truly want to help others through this difficult time of transition and healing."

    "The whole experience was great."
