THE W CONNECTION

The W Connection was founded in 2009 by Dawn Nargi and Ellen Kamp, two newly widowed women who found each other at their workplace. When their initial raw bereavement periods were behind them, they realized there were no organized communities for widows to help other widows move forward with new tools, understanding and hope. This revelation provided the genesis for The W Connection. The organization was founded with the simple yet challenging goal of widows helping widows rebuild their lives... The W Connection is a national non-profit of widows helping widows rebuild their lives after the life-changing event of losing a spouse. Unbeknownst to most people, there are almost 4 times as many widows as widowers in the US, and over 700,000 women become widows every yea r... Widows helping Widows rebuild their lives. The W Connection provides peer-to-peer emotional support from women of all ages who understand what it means to lose a spouse.
