Review for Soaring Spirits International, Simi Valley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a 9-11 widow, I knew a large part of my healing was having the company of other 9-11 widows, but for most widows and widowers, they are alone. Soaring Spirits wants to change this by helping Widows and Widowers get the support they need at their darkest hour. I attended Camp Widow last summer, albeit with some skepticism. I was trying to move forward and worried that it was going to be depressing. It was quite the opposite. What I found was an inspiring group of men and women sharing, learning and supporting each other through the painful loss of a spouse. Yes, there were tears but more often there was laughter. Soaring Spirits offers the balm of shared experience, letting widows around the country and even around the world, know they are not alone.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the friendships and support I've received through this remarkable organization.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

meeting other widows, networking with other people who have lost.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Friendly, hardworking, dedicated.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Change the world. It could network with widows from other countries and expand its mission to help women in their darkest hours.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months
