About Us

Surviving From Loss is a compassionate organization born from Charles Foster’s personal journey through the profound impact of losing a spouse. This ministry is dedicated to guiding individuals through the difficult paths of grief and transformation.

We deeply understand the weight of sorrow and loss that both widows and widowers bear. Our community offers a supportive and familial space for understanding and connection. While nothing can truly fill the void left by a departed spouse, we stand in the gap, offering support to help meet essential needs.

Today’s widowed population in the United States faces unique challenges. Although modern widows and widowers may not encounter the same societal hardships as their first-century counterparts, they still face significant obstacles. The loss of a spouse is recognized as one of life’s most profound stressors, often leaving individuals unprepared to cope. Beyond the emotional toll, widowed individuals frequently need fellowship, spiritual guidance, encouragement, and practical support as they navigate these challenges.

Surviving From Loss is committed to being a pillar of support, embodying the compassionate presence of Jesus for the widowed, as emphasized in God’s Word. Our services extend to both widows and widowers, acknowledging the equal importance of their needs. While society today may not marginalize the widowed, the loss of a spouse can still leave them feeling adrift, lonely, and forgotten in a world often centered around couples. Many widowed individuals find themselves navigating unfamiliar responsibilities and overwhelming tasks.

Surviving From Loss provides support and a space for widows and widowers to serve others, recognizing that helping others can be a powerful part of their healing process.

We bridge the gap by offering connection, encouragement, and practical assistance. Whether it’s managing home repairs or addressing tasks beyond their capabilities, we empower widows and widowers to navigate their changed world with resilience and dignity. At Surviving From Loss, we strive to be a beacon of hope, providing a supportive community where the widowed can find solace, strength, and the resources needed to rebuild their lives and embrace a brighter future.
