Grief Diaries: Through the Eyes of a Widow

Hope for Widows Foundation, Chasity Williams, Executive Director, was a contributing author of Through the Eyes of a Widow collection of stories by widows across the globe.  She shared her own personal insight into the hidden and often unspoken challenges of losing a husband, including the emotional, mental, and social shifts she’s forced to reckon with in the aftermath.

Widows in today’s world find little support to recover and adapt to a life they didn’t plan. Friends, family, and others have little idea about how to help, leaving them in a vulnerable spot when they need support most. What can widows do? Where do they turn for help? How do they face the future and rebuild their lives?
