About this Event

Our in-person support day, for those widowed young*, is a place to connect and relax with others who simply understand first-hand the pain of loss.

Being able to share with or simply listen to others in a safe, supportive environment is an ideal opportunity to discover some fresh perspectives and to renew your strength, and hope for the future. It's important to take some time for yourself.

Our day starts with registration and refreshments at 9.30am and will end no later than 4.30pm.

The cost is £30 per person – this includes lunch and refreshments.



What to expect

There will be opportunities to share informally over refreshments and lunch. Some of the issues we’ll talk about together during the sessions include:

  • How to respond to feelings of guilt, anger and despair
  • Strategies you can use to help overcome the pain of loss and shattered dreams
  • Practical ideas to help you cope in the tough times
  • Finding comfort, hope and a way forward

Our Widowed Young Support Coordinator, Danielle Patton, will be there to welcome you with our team of trained befrienders who have all experienced the loss of a partner early in life. They are available to listen, walk alongside you and help you on your journey towards hope and a rebuilding of your life.

Please see our frequently asked questions page for further information.

*Widowed Young Support events are for anyone who has lost a partner up to and including the age of 50 or older if you still have dependent children.


Further information

If you can afford to pay for a ticket, please go ahead and book. If that isn’t possible at the moment, please email our Widowed Young Support Coordinator, Danielle Patton on [email protected] as we may be able to help you. We never want money to be the reason you are unable to access our resources and support.

We regret that it is generally not possible to provide refunds due to our financial commitment to the venue.
