One of the most common words that widowed people use to describe how they feel after the death of their spouse is ‘lonely’. 

Even when we’re surrounded by family and friends, the sense of loneliness and not quite ‘fitting in’ can be overwhelming. Connecting with other widowed people can make us feel heard, understood and validated. 

Our online support groups provide a safe space where widowed people can share their stories and connect with other widowed people, day or night, from the comfort of their own homes. Take a look, join a conversation, or share a photo. We look forward to meeting you.

We have one main group for all widowed people, and three community specific groups – LGBTIQA+; men; young (widowed under 50). 

Information on joining our online support groups is provided after you become a First Light subscriber. 

If you are an existing First Light subscriber or member and would like information on how to join our online groups, please email us.
