Few Understand What It’s Like to Be a Widowed Parent. But We Do.
A Message from Gregg Newson, Incoming Board Chair, Hummingbird Centre for Hope It’s been said that ours is the club that no one joins willingly. When someone becomes a widowed parent, their world is turned upside down. It is a harrowing and isolating experience that simply cannot be fully understood by anyone outside of this community. While there are a multitude of organizations out there who provide a range of support services to the bereaved, only one focuses exclusively on the specific challenges faced by younger widows with children. There is simply no other organization like the Hummingbird Centre for Hope, which for ten years has offered peer-based support programming that focuses on equipping widowed parents with the knowledge, skills, and sense of community that they need to successfully navigate this incredibly complex and emotionally taxing time in their lives.
