At Surviving From Loss, we serve our community’s widows in various ways.  Our mission is to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our widows and widowers.  Only those who have lost a spouse can understand such loss.  There are many types of losses in life, and the loss of a spouse is one of the top five.  The widowed have many needs, but one is the need for fellowship.  A widow loses 75% of her friend network after the loss of her husband.  Many widows and widowers state that loneliness is one of

With the ministry entering the third event of the year, we wanted our Christmas celebration to be unique.  These special ladies have served others their entire lives, so we decided to do something extraordinary.  We invited them to attend this luncheon and not worry about anything.  They are our honored guests, and we had a lovely sit-down luncheon and served each of them in a fine dining fashion.  There were even creative names for each table.  They were served a delicious punch when they arrived while mingling with the other ladies.  When it came time

The Lifeline Chaplaincy event is an annual fundraiser for Lifeline and Compassionate Touch.  The work they do helps people around the world.  Our widows were invited to attend the event, and it was spectacular. To see images from the event, click this link.
