Only a widow truly knows what a widow is going through. As we kept meeting and helping each other heal, we naturally started to wonder how we might help other widows in their distress. Most churches have widows in their midst, but few churches are caring for them. Then, there are widows not connected with a church or any other support network. We realized that we, as widows, are the most qualified to serve each other in the void.  

Thus, was "Silver Sisters" born! Our goal is to create a network of widows who encourage and support each other through what can be one of the hardest times in a woman's life.  Yet, that's not all.  We also want to provide helpful resources (physical, emotional, spiritual), comprehensive checklists (what to do when you don't know what to do), and access to a vetted group of local workers (plumbers, carpenters, etc.) who won't take advantage of a woman on her own.  So, I invite you to explore this site, returning to it often as we update and add more information.   

The collective experience of many widows who have already walked the path can offer you valuable wisdom and direction, no matter at what age you are when your husband died. I still suffer the loss of my dear husband, but having these wonderful women around me has made the journey through the valley of the shadow far less lonely and frightening.  My prayer is that you, too, will join us.  You'll be encouraged and be an encourager, no matter how far down the path of grief you have traveled.  

Please contact us so we can begin to pray for you and support you.  If you're not ready for that, consider signing up for our Midweek Message for a dose of encouragement.  Being alone is hard, but staying alone is harder.  

Dear Sister, I'm sending you love and praying God's comfort will be yours today.
