About us
Widows Empowerment is found out of empathy for widows and has been driven by a firm belief in a universal idea: Our Love and Empathy connects us together. The Widows Empowerment Trust is a Christian, non-profit and NGO. It was founded 2016 to prove an idea through a specific mission: Success to empower widows to interpret their dreams.
The death of a loved one brings grief and total restructure of one’s life. Life is a continuous battle for many widows in our community regardless of age, faith, religion, race, disability,colour, tradition, and culture. Therefore, they often find these traits of life to be particularly depressing and frustrating to cope after the death of a loved one.Grieving is a long, slow process, it can take months or even years before someone returns to their normal self. ‘Sorrow for a husband is like a pain in the elbow. Sharp and short’. Grief never ends... but it changes. It is a passage not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor lack of faith, It is a price of love. The last thing any happily married person want is not because the spouse or marriage is perfect but because they have found consistency and pattern and they are settle. Death of a spouse is a major setback, whereby both lives were intertwined, it leaves a massive void and life can easily become empty and meaningless.
