Grief To Healing

Are you looking for answers, need support and encouragement?

Hi, I’m Mary Francis, Author and Founder of The Sisterhood Of Widows for widows like me.

This is a unique resource site for widows by a widow.  It is packed with advice from professionals in their fields of expertise and from widows like yourself.  In addition please take your time going through all the resources links as they were picked from the thousands of sites out there based on their good information and support for widows.

My mission is to provide knowledge and encouragement to all the widows both before and after me.  I wish to thank all the contributors that have made that possible.

To Our Shared Journey,  Mary Francis

Grief is the feeling you get when you reach out for them only to find out they are no longer there. It is that heart wretched emptiness.  It’s a journey that is made easier from the insight of those that have already traveled your path.

  Change

  The winds of change came blowing across your life one day.

  Little did you know the change about to come your way.

  The pain you felt, the grief, the shock, no one could ever know

  .But as you’ve read there are other wives who’ve had to take that blow.

  They say time is a healer—you ask, can it be true?

  Can the pain I feel deep in my heart, be the same for me, as you?

  All who grieve will find somehow to carry on each day.

  And God will give the strength you need, you simply have to pray.
