Surviving From Loss is a compassionate organization founded by Charles Foster, born from his own personal journey through the profound grief of losing a spouse. Our mission is to walk alongside widows and widowers as they navigate the difficult path of grief and rebuild their lives after loss.

We understand the deep sorrow and emotional weight that comes with losing a life partner. At Surviving From Loss, we offer a supportive community that provides connection, understanding, and empathy. While the loss of a spouse can never be fully replaced, we are here to fill the gap, offering essential support to help meet the emotional, spiritual, and practical needs of those who grieve.

In today’s world, widows and widowers face unique challenges that can be overwhelming. While modern society may offer more resources than the widowed of the past, the emotional and practical toll of losing a spouse remains one of life’s most profound stressors. Often, individuals are left unprepared for the weight of the journey ahead. Beyond grief, many struggle with feelings of loneliness, isolation, and a sense of being adrift in a world where couples are the norm.

Surviving From Loss stands as a pillar of support, embodying the compassionate presence of Jesus for the widowed, as emphasized in God’s Word. Our ministry serves both widows and widowers, recognizing the equal importance of their emotional and practical needs. While society may no longer marginalize the widowed as in ancient times, the void left by the loss of a spouse can still leave them feeling forgotten or unseen.

In addition to offering emotional and spiritual support, we provide a practical helping hand. Whether it’s managing household tasks, handling home repairs, or simply offering a listening ear, we empower widows and widowers to face the challenges of their new reality with strength, resilience, and dignity.

At Surviving From Loss, we believe in the healing power of service. We create opportunities for widows and widowers to serve others, which can be a transformative part of their own healing process. By offering a sense of purpose and connection, we help rebuild their sense of self and hope for the future.

Surviving From Loss is more than just a support organization—it is a community of hope. We are committed to providing a safe, compassionate space where the widowed can find solace, strength, and the resources they need to rebuild their lives. Together, we navigate the path of healing, finding light even in the darkest times.

We are here to reach out to the widowed of our community and to become the hands and feet of Jesus to the widowed and to help you move from surviving to thriving.
