Losing a spouse changes everything. The emotional, financial, and spiritual challenges can feel overwhelming — but no widow should have to walk that road alone. Across the country and within faith-based communities, there are resources designed to bring comfort, guidance, and strength. At Everlast Life Foundation, we’re committed to connecting widows with the support they need to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Through our Development Program, we focus on five pillars — Job Training, Education, Shelter, Uplift, and Sustainability. Our team provides housing support, financial literacy workshops, and emotional counseling rooted in faith.

2. Local Church Ministries
Many churches offer widow support groups, meal programs, and prayer partnerships. These ministries provide not only practical help but also spiritual companionship and community.
3. Financial Counseling & Assistance
Organizations like the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and Smart Women Smart Money offer free or low-cost financial advice. Managing finances after loss can be difficult — professional guidance helps restore stability.
4. Government & Community Programs
The Social Security Administration and local housing authorities provide benefits and programs for widows, including survivor benefits, housing vouchers, and healthcare support.
5. Faith-Based Nonprofits for Widows
Groups like The Modern Widows Club and Never Alone Widows host retreats, mentoring programs, and online communities for women healing through faith and fellowship.
6. Employment & Job Training Resources
Everlast Life Foundation partners with local businesses to offer widows job training and employment opportunities. Nationally, organizations like Dress for Success and Goodwill Career Centers empower widows to re-enter the workforce with confidence.
7. Mental Health Support
Faith-based counseling and grief therapy can be vital for healing. Many churches offer free sessions with pastoral counselors, and nonprofits such as Grief Share connect widows with trained facilitators.
8. Educational Scholarships for Widows & Their Children
Some universities and faith-based charities provide scholarships specifically for widows or children who have lost a parent. These programs open doors for continued education and a brighter future.
9. Community Volunteer Networks
Giving back can be a source of healing. Volunteering with local charities — including Everlast Life Foundation — helps widows find purpose and connection while helping others.
10. Online Support Communities
Online groups offer safe spaces to connect with others who understand the journey. Websites like Widowed Village and Hope for Widows Foundation host discussion forums, blogs, and virtual meetups.
A Message of Hope
No widow should feel forgotten. Through community, faith, and compassion, healing is possible. Whether through Everlast’s programs or other resources, hope is always within reach.
