History
Never Alone Widows began in 2018 as a simple idea to provide community for widows. After our first gathering held in a Georgia suburb, the volunteer team knew that our concept was uniquely special and there was a definite need for more. The planning began, the team grew, and we began hosting retreats across the country.
Currently, we hold three retreats and one national gathering per year. In 2022 we also launched Never Alone Widows Local Chapters - widow-led and facilitated - and currently have more than 60 groups (and growing) meeting monthly throughout the United States.
