Who We Are

Never Alone Widows began in 2018 as a simple idea to provide community for widows. After our first gathering held in a Georgia suburb, the volunteer team knew that our concept was uniquely special and there was a definite need for more. The planning began, the team grew, and we began hosting retreats across the country.

Currently, we hold three retreats and one national gathering per year. In 2022 we also launched Never Alone Widows Local Chapters – widow-led and facilitated – and currently have more than 60 groups (and growing) meeting monthly throughout the United States.

We provide timely and powerful resources to help widows navigate through their grief. Our first devotional, His Name: Our Hope in Grief, is available to purchase online. Also, over the last three years we have launched three volumes of How to Widow Well, an online series and vidoes and workbooks covering topics that will help the widow navigate the grief journey. With plans to become the largest Christian widows ministry in the country, we are continually seeking new ways to take widows from desperation to destiny through the healing power of Jesus Christ.

“I have no words for what the Lord just did for all of us together. It’s beyond priceless and it is beyond miraculous. My heart is so full. I have not felt this much hope and joy, possibly ever!”

Testimonies

“Being a part of the Never Alone retreat only 10 months into my grief journey changed everything for me. I was already leaning into Jesus, deep into counseling, and blessed with good community; but this retreat impacted me more than I could ever put into words. The trajectory of my healing journey took a shift during the retreat. I had confidence to trust God to write our family’s story and an understanding of how widows are incredibly near to the heart of God. I felt deeply loved by my Savior and allowed Him to step into deep wounds in my heart. I left the retreat feeling that widowhood was a privilege and it was an honor to be a part of this journey. Talk about a change in perspective!”

“This last year I am experiencing God through others. The hands and feet of Christ have been a monumental way God has shown up in my children and I's pain and suffering. I have learned to let down my guard and let people in to help. Those very people as I look back now were all moments where God was saying… “Amy I am near.”
You are those people... you stepped into a moment in my life were deep pain and darkness dwelt and you stayed with me and alongside me in it. I probably will never fully know your faithfulness to my family... all your prayers, thoughts, and behind the scenes help. What I do know is that I have felt God through each of you. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing alongside Ollie, Marley and I. Grateful for Be Still Ministries and the Never Alone Retreat. God used you, Paige, Brittany, and Ginger in my life this year to restore Hope.”

“When I arrived at The Never Alone widows Retreat, I felt scared, broken, and alone. I was met with open arms full of love from women who were once in my shoes. Their love for Jesus and testament of our Father’s goodness, in the midst of great loss, brought joy that was contagious. I left no longer feeling like my best days were behind me, and instead hopeful for the beautiful days God had planned ahead.”
