The National Widowers’ Organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed in 2009 to help widowers deal with the death of their spouse or life partner. It has expanded to developing a better understanding of men’s grief and promoting support for men and their families dealing with all forms of grief. They provide a safe and supportive community where widowers can connect with others who are going through a similar experience. The organization offers resources and information about grief and coping strategies, as well as online forums and support groups.
The National Widowers’ Organization works to raise awareness about the unique challenges that widowers face, and to provide resources to help them navigate the grieving process. Overall, the organization’s goal is to provide a supportive community and resources to help widowers find healing and hope after a devastating loss.
They expanded their mission and founded the Men’s Grief Network, whose mission is to support the community of men in grief by raising public awareness and providing education, research, resources, and advocacy, including monthly webinars that address issues specific to men’s bereavement.
