Resources for Women to Help Navigate Widowhood
Creating awareness on resources for widows.
Embracing Widowhood is a National Resource Site, and BLOG that advocates support, educational material, and widow experiences, to help other widows move forward with their grief, by seeking support, finding hope, and help them embrace and navigate widowhood.
Meet Mari Marquez, the Founder of embracingwidowhood.com.
Welcome to Embracing Widowhood! My name is Mari Marquez. I am a widow, a mother, trauma survivor, blogger, and the founder of embracingwidowhood.com, and The Embracing Widowhood Podcast. This site is meant to help those who have lost their spouse, domestic partner, or significant other to death. This site contains a multitude of resources that may help you navigate your journey as a widow.
I have researched multiple organizations Nationwide, read countless books, and I have tried different modalities to help me in my journey as a widow, and now I want to share these resources with you. I also want to make widows aware of these great organizations that are out there for them, which some were founded by widows and are specifically for widows, and the different channels that can help them get support. I will also do a BLOG every other Monday, where I will highlight a particular book, resource, modality, topic, podcast, or organization that can help you in your journey. I will release an extended version of the BLOG content on The Embracing Widowhood Podcast the following Monday of the BLOG. Please keep in mind that some of these resources might help some, and not others. Remember that grief is not linear, and everyone grieves differently. I hope this site and its content can help you seek support, find hope, and Embrace Widowhood.
