After losing my husband, Keown, in December 2024, I experienced firsthand how isolating widowhood can feel, even as life continues moving for everyone else. As I continue my own healing journey, I feel called to create a space where widows can be seen, supported, and reminded that they do not have to navigate grief or rebuild their lives alone. Also, that there is vision after loss.

This will be an intimate gathering created to bring widows together in a safe and compassionate space where they can be seen, heard, and supported. Widowhood can feel deeply isolating, especially when the world continues moving while a woman is still learning how to live with loss.

There will be no stage and no formal speakers. Instead, the women will share a meal around connected tables and participate in guided conversations about grief, healing, faith, purpose, and the life still ahead of them. Whether a woman has been widowed for several months or many years, she will be welcomed without judgment or expectation.

This gathering is about reminding every widow that she is not alone, that her story still matters, and that healing does not have to happen in isolation. Our hope is that each woman leaves the table feeling strengthened by community, encouraged about her future, and reminded that she is still standing and her life still holds purpose.
