AN EXPERIENCE FOR WIDOWED WOMEN

The death of a life partner is a natural part of our shared human experience—yet the grief that follows can be profoundly isolating, disorienting, and life-altering. In the quiet aftermath, many women find themselves holding the scattered pieces of what once was: identity, companionship, future plans, emotional safety, financial stability, or the role of co-parent.

At Sunrise Retreats, we believe widowhood deserves more space, more care, and more conversation. As a nonprofit founded in 2017, our mission is to provide accessible education, meaningful connection, and professionally guided support that honors both the pain and the possibility of life after your partner’s death.

Our offerings are grounded in current research and holistic well-being, complemented by practical tools and compassionate facilitation. 

Send Her to Sunrise is a beautiful way to offer support that truly makes a difference. Friends and family can gift a Sunrise Program to a widow directly by covering the program cost, or share a personalized donation link for others to contribute collectively toward the gift. Whether it's a solo act of kindness or a group effort, this option lets loved ones replace casseroles with community—and give her time, space, and support.

Because healing is better with a little help—and this gift says, "We see you, and you’re not alone."
