Thank you for visiting our upcoming events page.
If you have lost your spouse, we understand the pain and heartache you may be carrying—and we want you to know that you are not alone.
There is no pressure here, and nothing you are expected to do. Each of us has experienced this loss, and we are simply here to walk alongside one another with understanding and care.
Our gatherings are designed to be a safe and welcoming place where you can take your next step forward, whatever that step may look like for you. Whether you feel like talking, listening, or simply being present, you are welcome just as you are.
Many find it helpful to be in the company of others who truly understand the journey of loss. Here, you can move at your own pace, surrounded by people who will gently support and encourage you along the way.
You have full permission to come quietly, to take things slowly, and to participate only as you feel comfortable.
We warmly invite you to join us whenever you are ready.
Please know that we care deeply, and it would be our honor to walk beside you through this season of your life.
“You will be safe here.”
Great Things To Look Forward To With Our Upcoming Events
Spring at Bayou Bend
A Gentle Morning of Beauty, Peace, and Quiet Connection
Sometimes, the most healing moments are found in quiet places—surrounded by beauty, fresh air, and gentle conversation.
We invite you to join us for a peaceful visit to Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, where spring flowers are in full bloom, and the grounds offer a calm and reflective setting.
As we stroll through the gardens and explore the historic home, you are free to move at your own pace—whether that means walking alongside others, pausing to take in the scenery, or simply enjoying a quiet moment to yourself.
There is no pressure, no expectations, just a welcoming space to breathe, reflect, and be among others who understand.
If this is your first time joining us, we will warmly welcome you and help you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.
Come as you are, and allow yourself to enjoy a gentle step forward in a place of beauty and peace.
This will take place on April 16th. Any questions, contact Joni Glover (281) 352-3948.
