West Edmonton Widow to Widow - Widow to Widow is a support group for widows of all ages, cultures, faiths and backgrounds. Losing a life partner is a traumatic and life changing experience. Consequently many women experience isolation, anxiety and loneliness. This group provides the opportunity for women to get together once a month, have fun, laugh with new friends, have a place to go – all while having the comfort and support of other widows. We provide a safe and informal social environment where widows can have good conversation and enjoy meeting someone new! We meet the first Thursday evening of every month at 7pm. If this interests you, or you have any questions regarding the group, please do not hesitate to contact Sandy Brunner, she would be happy answer any and all of your questions. www.widowtowidow.ca/new-events/2017/6/1/west-edmonton-w2w-group-meeting
