On your own; but not alone"

On your Own; But Not Alone Strives to offset the loneliness; isolation and financial challenges and build community among widowed women.

This initiative was established by a group of women who have themselves experienced the loss of a spouse. Their firsthand understanding of the unique challenges faced by widowed women adds depth and empathy to this project. Our program offers monthly social brunches, events, and food distributions specifically aimed at supporting financially vulnerable widows.

​

Our project aims to foster ongoing connectivity and establish meaningful relationships among a diverse group of women who may have previously never crossed paths. This is achieved by leveraging the common experience of loss, which serves as a unifying factor.

Peer support plays a crucial role in mitigating the profound loneliness and depression experienced by widows who lack support. Managing mental health challenges while being isolated is undoubtedly a serious matter. The concept of "On your own; but not alone" ensures that all widows are acknowledged, integrated into a community, and surrounded by individuals who can empathize and comprehend their experiences. Moreover, this approach facilitates access to additional resources such as food packages and guidance for community welfare services.
