All the things you never knew you would need

I recently returned from Camp Widow in San Diego, where I served as a presenter. Camp Widow is one of the many programs offered by Soaring Spirits International, an organization led by widowed people with the mission of supporting widowed people.

While I always feel honored to present at various Camp Widow events over the years, what I find most meaningful is seeing the impact the event has on attendees.

Anyone who has lost the person they planned to spend the rest of their life with is welcome to attend. Some are only weeks into their journey, while others have decades under their belt. It’s a coming together of people who get it: a convergence of kindness, connection and community.

One attendee described Camp Widow as “All the things I never knew I was going to need.”

There are tears, yes, and also a lot of laughter. There are meaningful moments of honoring late spouses, and also a lively dancefloor.  

Camp Widow represents the duality that is life after profound loss.

You may feel alone in your life, despite being surrounded by people who care. At Camp Widow, you’ll meet hundreds of strangers and yet you won’t feel alone.

Camp Widow events are held every few months in various locations in the US, Canada and Australia. It’s a transformative experience, leaving attendees feeling seen, understood and hopeful.

But if attending isn’t possible, be sure to check out Soaring Spirits International and the many programs they offer. There may be a Regional Social Group in your area, or you may benefit from joining Widowed Village, Soaring Spirit’s virtual community.

You don’t have to do it all alone.

And speaking of not doing it alone, with my coaching program designed exclusively for widowed people, you’ll have private and group coaching and 24/7 access to the most transformational tools and resources.
