Kendra:
When I was first widowed, I felt completely lost-even with family and friends nearby. It was hard to find anyone who truly understood what it was like to raise kids while grieving. Walking alongside Sarah as she and others founded Widows with Kiddos was a turning point. Being with women who shared my journey brought comfort and a deep sense of belonging. The servant-hearted support from couples like Randy and Char has been incredibly uplifting. I no longer feel like a burden, but part of a community that genuinely want to help us heal and thrive. I'm so grateful for the support and friendships I've found here.

Widows with Kiddos has been a great sense of community for me and, in some ways, therapy. During my journey as a widow, I have discovered nothing is more healing for me and my kiddos' souls than being around families that GET IT. Of course, none of us want to be a part of a widow's group; we would not have chosen this for ourselves, but since we are, this is the best group to be a part of. The open conversations that allow us to be ourselves, the resources we share, the advice and support, make me feel like I'm not the only young widow in the universe.

Morgan:
Widows with Kiddos gave me my first true chance to feel seen, heard, and understood during one of the hardest seasons of my life. At my very first gathering, I was welcomed with hugs, tears, and unmatched energy that instantly made me feel like I'd known these women for years. This community gave me a safe space to ask the hard, uncomfortable questions without fear of judgement. It's a group none of us ever wished to need, but I'm beyond grateful to have found it.

What an incredible blessing Widows with Kiddos has been for my family! That love that I have experienced from each individual in this group has encouraged my heart and impacted my healing in such a powerful way.

Monica:
I have been a widow for four years now. I lost my husband on December 18, 2021, due to Covid pneumonia. I have faced many challenges as a single mom of four teenage boys. I was introduced to Widows with Kiddos by my friend Cara, who knew Kendra, who then introduced me to Sarah, who introduced me to Char and Randy. They are a group of amazing individuals who give up their time to put events together to introduce widows to others who have faced the loss of a spouse. Since it is a devastating and painful journey to walk, Widow for Kiddos is a great support group and also has beneficial resources to offer. I am so grateful and thankful for what they have done for me and my children. I’m grateful for your prayers, Char and Randy. Your prayers have helped me through some difficult situations with my boys. Widows for Kiddos is definitely a gift sent from God.
I can’t thank you enough and I am looking forward to attending more events and meeting other widows who share the same grief.

Whether it's offering heartfelt understanding or lending a helping hand during tough times, they've always made us feel that we're not alone. My children and I have found comfort, friendship, hope, and genuine support through this journey. It has truly brought a meaningful and positive change to our lives.

Jacqueline:
In the aftermath of my husband’s passing, I found myself searching for connection — something that was incredibly difficult to find as a young widow raising young children. I longed for a space where I felt understood and where our experience didn’t feel so isolating.
Widows with Kiddos has given me exactly that and so much more. It has connected me with other widows who truly understand this journey, and it has introduced both me and my children to a community of life-long friends.
I will always be grateful to have found this group, and I look forward to every event. In one of the darkest seasons of our lives, they have brought moments of comfort, belonging, and genuine light.

Adrienne:
All my life I was worried about being alone. I did not grow up in church or with Jesus. I saw Christians in my life and saw how they loved others and their peace and strength. I wanted to be like that. In 2023 my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and I knew there was more to the world than just the physical. I knew that it had to be something the Christians had and knew. I came to learn that "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you (God) are with me." God was with us in our darkest time. My husband got sicker but I saw God's love on my husband more than ever. My husband loved God and had so much peace. When my husband, Jared, was dying, I saw Jesus with him. Even though all of us will go through physical death, our soul and spirit will never perish with Jesus. We are not alone, God hears every prayer. He values us so much that he suffered and died for us so we would not be alone. As for me and my children, I can say we are not alone and we are surrounded by people who shine with the love of Christ. I found the Widows with Kiddos group through Sarah and saw that strength and love that I had admired in the Christians in my life. The Widows with Kiddos organization that we have come to be a part of shines with this same love. We are surrounded with people walking the same path and can understand our loss. It was very hard to navigate our emotional, physical, and financial loss but this group has helped my family so much. They had information and resources for the next steps after my husband's death that I had no clue about. They really walk through this valley with me and my kids. We are provided for and loved and feel so valued. My kids and I feel connected with God, and the Widows with Kiddows group is this physical reminder that we are not alone. A reminder that nothing can ever separate us from the love of Jesus, not even death itself.
