You’re Invited to The Gathering Place
A compassionate community for widows of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds
Losing a husband changes life in profound ways—but you don’t have to walk this journey alone. The Gathering Place is a welcoming space where widows can come together to share encouragement, friendship, hope, and compassion.
Whether your loss is recent or years past, you’ll find understanding hearts and meaningful connections here. Together, we’ll support one another, form new friendships, and take steps forward with strength and grace.
Just come and join the group for great conversation, a few laughs, and the support we can give to each other.
