widow squad testimonials

Real Reviews, Real Impact, and Genuine Connections

Every widow has a unique story to tell, and each journey provides testament to the strength, resilience, and support that defines us. On this page, you’ll find heartfelt reviews from widows who reflect the spirit of the Widow Squad and the transformative experiences shared by many. Dive in and discover the real-life impact of being part of our remarkable community.

“The Widow Squad is a safe space to share authentically about your grief experience, and to receive support. It is helpful to hear from those who have been on this path longer and to see that there is hope. Melissa, Kim, and Jen really care about the community they have created and bring their own experiences to contribute, as well as bringing in additional resources. There have been workshops with guest speakers on organization, finances, creating a vision board, a book club, etc. There are also multiple meetings each month that are just for the members only. It is such a normal response to feel disconnected in widowhood, and it is a relief to find a group that understands the changed life you are now living.”

This Widow Squad is truly a blessing. I want to thank you so much for the Widow Squad. You have helped me grow in my new chapter of life. Learning how to deal with my grief. I want to be better, not bitter. Thank you!”

Having a group of women who have the unique perspective nobody wants, in a place where it is safe to be heard is invaluable. The Widow Squad has made me feel seen and less alone.
Victoria
I’m really glad I joined this group. I went to therapy and I’ve been to two different therapy groups. I find this group to be the best of all. I find that you people are real and true.

Thank you for all you do with the Widow Squad. Just knowing you guys are there filled with information, acceptance, perspective and enthusiastic support has made a huge difference for me.

This isn’t your normal grief group. This group is full of people who don’t want to stay stuck. They want to do something about it.

Wow! The ideas that you all come up with! These topics are things I never would have thought of. This has been such a great resource for me.

“Joining the Widow Squad was one of the wisest decisions I made as a widow. I was longing for a group of women who were dedicated to one another, open to being vulnerable with each other, and would share their journeys through widowhood. What surprised me, was the fun that I ended up sharing with these widows! Laughter, stories, recipes, and photos! Amazing and so uplifting right at the moment I needed it. I look forward to each and every meetup that they offer. And knowing that many of the meet ups are recorded, gives me the flexibility when I can’t attend, to watch at a later date. Awesome! I feel safe, heard and understood in the Widow Squad. That’s priceless.”

Stumbled to this podcast two and half years into being a widow. It’s probably the best “conversation” I’ve had. Sitting here listening to your episode about wedding rings. For the first time now there is no ring on my finger. And I don’t feel alone about it. Thanks.
