Why Travel with Widows in the Wild?

  • To go somewhere where you’re not defined by the title of the “grieving widow” (no more platitudes and looks of pity).

  • To take the space to grieve, without the expectations of others (no more hiding in the car to cry).

  • To connect with new people with a similar shared experience (and understand you in a way your friends can’t).

  • To experience JOY with more ease (a sunset on top of the mountain, a sunrise over the ocean, the taste of gelato down a tiny cobblestone alley)

  • To gain a new perspective. (Grief tends to force us inward - travel allows us to savor external pleasures - new foods, new views, new experiences, new people)

  • To have an amazing time (you deserve it!)
