What we’re about
New Jersey's LARGEST and most active widowed community. Our purpose is to provide "A Purpose" and something to look forward and hope for, as "Hope Matters". A reason to continue on through this tunnel called grief. We are a social group, we offer friendship, fun, and good conversations with folks that "get it". We do understand there is a time for mourning, there is a time to grieve. There also is a time to decide "what will the rest of my life look like? Rather than define what we are, the group defines itself by the care and compassion shown by its members to one another. We ask all members be respectful and kind to one another as we always want a "safe place".
We are looking for those who are looking to live again. As your organizer I have been finding that each year brings new challenges. I have found that as my second family, this group provides the friendships that are among the most precious ones that I hold dear. Please join us as we walk together through our individual, yet similar journey's.
Death and grief have no cure....... The loss of a loved one cannot be cured with pills, nor can a band aid and ointment make the pain go away, there are no sutures or stitches. The closest thing to what we all have suffered is to be an "amputee" as I have been told even though years pass and the limb is gone, the sensation of it still being there is so surreal......
I love you all my widowed family,
Arnie Roeland
