@ginacanadiangrl "Allowing a safe space for that actually offers the person a lot. It's more than enough": This is exactly what @soaringspirits provides me and everyone else whose spouse or partner died. It's what makes the bond at their #CampWidow so incredible. 💜 aroadlesstraveledblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/camp-w…
CNN Hero Michele Neff Hernandez’s nonprofit, @soaringspirits, has connected millions of widowed people in a community of support and understanding. She shares her advice for those who are struggling with their mental health: bit.ly/3LW8R2X #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
Great time speaking to my friends at @soaringspirits at their annual Widow Camp. Soaring Spirits is a support organization for widows & widowers & helps them become strong in broken places. It’s a good group of people who have each other’s backs.
Today we honor our Baha'i friends who are celebrating Ayyam-i-Ha--a festival of generosity, love, compassion, of praising God, and friendship. Grief can make holidays particularly special or particularly hard. Whatever you feel, know you are not alone. #festivalofhope
True words, especially when applied to the widowed experience. Listen to the voice inside your heart that serves as a compass... #ssiinspired
We often hear about PTSD in relation to serious trauma, but anyone who has lived through a traumatic experience (including the death of a spouse or partner) can experience symptoms of PTSD. #ssigriefmythbusters
Next Tuesday we'll be welcoming John Robinette to our Newly Widowed Virtual Program who will be speaking about building your support network. Login to (or join) Widowed Village to join us next Tuesday! widowedvillage.org/meetings/ #ssinewlywidowed
Enjoy this replay from our Newly Widowed Program that highlights supportive ways to find sleep and rest in the early months post-loss. Offered originally in April of last year by Dr. Alyssa Gavulic, this replay is available online at widowedvillage.org/meeting/sleep-…. #ssinewlywidowed
Today is the start of Lent in the Christian Church. Lent is the 40-day period of prayer and fasting before Easter. #festivalofhope
Want a dose of hope? Please join our friends at Open to Hope for their 2023 Int'l Day of Hope and Healing opentohope.com/conference/ #ssiresourceshare
Listening to music can be both a comfort and a challenge after the death of a spouse or partner... #ssithatwashard
Did you know that one of Soaring Spirits' guiding principles is inclusivity? If the person you were planning on spending the rest of your life with has died, Soaring Spirits is a home for you regardless of age, race, gender, marital status, or religious beliefs. #ssididyouknow
Maintaining social connections is one way you can take care of YOU. Today: Will you talk to a friend, sign up for a class, attend a Zoom gathering, meet a colleague for lunch, visit with family, join a group? #ssiselfcaresunday
If the 10,000 foot view is too much to handle, just focus on the next step. You've got this, and we're walking right beside you... #ssiinspired
It can feel at times like we're being guided toward an imaginary ticker tape that we'll one day cross through in celebration after "completing" grief. The truth is, there's really no end goal. We integrate the love and memories and we bring them forward with us into every day.
Next Tuesday we'll be welcoming Aidan Park to our Newly Widowed Virtual Program who will be speaking about emotional wellness. Login to (or join) Widowed Village to join us next Tuesday! widowedvillage.org/meetings/ #ssinewlywidowed
Your loved one has left an indelible mark on your heart and your spirit. No amount of passing time will wear that mark away. <3 #ssinewlywidowed
Today Buddhists celebrate the anniversary of Buddha's death and enlightenment. It's an opportunity to reflect on loved ones who have died, consider our mortality, and work toward accepting impermanence. #festivalofhope
Have you seen The Artist' Grief Deck yet? This example flashcard reminds us to Connect With the Body. It reads, "I grieve not only for the losses of the present but also for what could have been..." It includes strategies for grieving. griefdeck.com/card/connectin…

@Docsociology4 @MysterySolvent @soaringspirits Yeah, it sucks pretty hard right now, no lie. I was surprised to find so much support here, but it is So Amazing. Thanks for the offer of a shoulder/ear. 😀 I followed @soaringspirits. I'm less than 40 miles from them and didn't know they exist. I'll let you know about dinner.
Being a widow sucks and makes zero sense. @refugeingrief and @soaringspirits have been really helpful for me to feel connected to a community, and to have the physical effects of grief and loss explained to me.
@morethanmySLE My online widows group is meeting on Thanksgiving morning. I've been widowed for 4 years, but I want new widows to know they're not alone. If anyone wants to know about the meeting go to @soaringspirits. Beyond that, I'll be eating snacks and watching TV. Happy T-Giving to All!!
@Mollyploofkins As it turns out, yes. I tried to work something out, but it'll be on Friday instead. I have a widows group meeting on zoom for T-giving morning. If interested check out @soaringspirits. I'm having snacks and TV all day...maybe a little house cleaning.
So fulfilling to have served 35 newly widowed people in this session through @soaringspirits. Check them out and refer your widowed clients their way! #soaringspirits #widowed
@Notamillinial Ckeck out @soaringspirits and Camp Widow, they usually have one in Tampa every year. It is a great place to connect with other widows and widowers and they have sessions just for the men run by men. Their online communities are really great too.
@tohellwithuga2 @soaringspirits you can find support from other widows and widowers throughout the US and Canada. Or @WidowedAndYoung if you're in the UK and Northern Ireland.
@widowedPP @soaringspirits Thank you. I am at a rehab for depression. It is helping but I think I am going to look around for a Bereavement group. I read a book that guided me through the process and highly recommended it
@Notamillinial @soaringspirits I hope you get the support you need there. Grief can break you open and in my experience, you can transform through it. You will not be who you were before, and that has to be accepted as another loss. But you can survive. You just have to go through it.
@soaringspirits I think of it as “ move forests with “ -I don’t believe we move on, I believe we carry our loved one with us in memory and heart as we engage in life as it is
@soaringspirits After almost 2 years I still haven’t done anything with her clothes.

@tigerlily7a @Jester_NeNe @soaringspirits thank you so much Connie. I'll share this with my mum. I appreciate it very much.
@starfleetboy @Jester_NeNe Something that might prove very helpful to your mom: @soaringspirits provides support, community, & resources (both in person & online) to all whose spouse or partner has passed. By widowed people, for widowed people. I can personally vouch for it. ❤ soaringspirits.org
Good advice for widows, but many widows are alone and have no one to help or they have family members who don't listen. If you can help, please do!
Delegating tasks that feel too overwhelming to trusted friends and family can be a relief in the early months of loss. Is there something on your plate today that you can turn over to a trusted loved one? #ssinewlywidowed
