What Our Members Say…
"I think it’s fair to say that Widowed Friends saved my life. My husband died of a particularly aggressive cancer last winter. The shock and tragedy of it shook all the joy out of me. I was so very lonely… Widowed Friends threw me a lifeline when I was drowning."

"Joining Widowed Friends Zoom meetings is like walking into your living room and finding all your friends there! It's been wonderful to have so many Zoom meetings each week to connect with others and feel a part of a larger community. "

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that works so hard in the group for providing this network for people like myself and others."

"I felt alone and isolated due to Covid until I joined Widowed Friends. I quickly made friends and found others with something in common. They get it. I value the time, effort and support from the group. It’s a life saver."

"I can’t come close to expressing my gratitude and love for our Widowed Friends group."

"Widowed Friends has helped ease my new journey into widowed life since we are all of like minds. It has helped make my life more meaningful."

"Being widowed, lonely, then moving to Oakville and only knowing my son and his family, Widowed Friends has been a godsend to me. With this group I met lovely new friends and this group opened up for me a wonderful new life with lots of social activities."

"Since joining Widowed Friends, my loneliness and sadness, as a result of my wife’s death, have decreased. This personal change, is due to the warm interactions, offered to me, from the many widows and widowers I meet, at the socials. Thanks to everyone for your sincere caring."

Thank you All for kind thoughts and support. It brings me comfort knowing there is a supportive group of people who share similar interests and concerns.
