Widows need positive grieving and healing to get rebalanced.

I’m Mary Francis and I founded “The Sisterhood of Widows” to help widows get rebalanced and to empower them to create a new life.

The first thing you’ll notice about this site is that it’s not focused on grief as much as comfort and assistance.  We offer you compassion and encouragement– seeing that you are struggling we are here to help you to stand on your own and to say “Yes” you can do it.

It was created by a widow for widows so please check out all the free resources and my personal blog for tips and advice to help you on your own grief journey.

For even more support sign up for my free Monthly Newsletter and enjoy its articles, the book of the month, quotes and resources.

Please listen to the audio below of “Chapter One” from “The Sisterhood of Widows”.  This book was part of my own grief journey after my husband of 27 years died at the age of 53.
