What we’re about
We are a social group for widows and widowers age 50 and over in the Fox Cities area. Our goal is to create opportunities to get out, socialize, and not be alone, providing support and friendship to members navigating life after the loss of a spouse.
We are not a grief support group, but we aren't strictly a group for socializing either. We're a group of people with shared experience, who love having a good time together and also provide understanding and support for each other as we pivot after loss. Many of our activities are the kinds of things that are harder to do alone - like going to dinner, movies, happy hours, and other outings.
Although we understand the experience of losing a spouse never goes away, we are not best suited for new members who have already remarried or are in committed relationships at the time of joining the group. It is the transition and the challenges of finding a new you that we find joy in doing together.
If you’re thinking about joining and you’re not sure if you’re ready, or if it feels scary to come meet a group of strangers, or if you don’t quite know what to do with the feelings that might come up…every one of us has been in that exact place. That is what we have in common.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to the group and having fun along the way!
