About the Series
Coffee & Connect: More Than Just a Virtual Gathering
Coffee & Connect is a monthly sanctuary where widowed men and women come together in understanding and support. Each 60-minute virtual session creates a safe space where your experiences are honored, your feelings are validated, and your journey is respected. There are no fees, no selling, and never an obligation.
What Makes Our Sessions Special
Every month (June - October), we gather for:
- Community Partner Presentations (20 minutes): Learn from respected organizations in the widowed community who will share valuable resources, insights, and tools that may help you move forward.
- Small Group Breakouts (30 minutes): Connect in intimate groups facilitated by experienced guides who understand your journey. Here, you can share your challenges, celebrate your progress, and form meaningful connections with others.
- Warm Introductions & Closing Reflections (10 minutes): Begin and end each session with Wings for Widows leadership who ensure every gathering provides value, comfort, and next steps for your journey.
Why Join Us?
Coffee & Connect isn't just another webinar or support group—it's a thoughtfully designed experience that acknowledges where you are today while offering gentle companionship for the road ahead. Bring your favorite mug, your authentic self, and an open heart as we navigate this path together.
A Growing Community
Since our beginning, we've created a vibrant online community where widowed individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages, and stages of grief find common ground and uncommon friendship. Each person who joins adds to the collective wisdom and support that makes our gatherings so meaningful.
No Pressure, Just Presence
There's no requirement to share or speak—sometimes just being in the presence of others who understand can be healing. Whether you actively participate or simply listen, your presence matters and your journey is honored.
