Review for Soaring Spirits International, Simi Valley, CA, USA
When my husband died in 2008, I felt like I was the only one - the only young widow, the only one who understood this terror of raising two little ones totally alone, the only one who knew how other's often insensitive, yet wellmeant, comments bit. And in the small town that I live in, I was the only one.
But then, I stumbled across the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation. From the kindness of others, I managed to fly to San Diego and meet so many other "only one"s.
I was no longer alone. It was still scary and new, but it was less lonely.
I don't know that I have laughed as hard or felt as supported as that weekend in San Diego since the death of my beloved husband.
This foundation fills a need, a void, where our families/friends/community is not able to.

The emotional support provided though the connection to other widows and the education of their workshops regarding a variety of topics from grieving children to financial planning.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Help more widows be able to access it and afford the trip to San Diego.
