Can we give a “widowbit” this Valentine’s Day for the widowed person who needs us?

 

There is so much about my widowhood journey that would not have been the same if it hadn’t been for Soaring Spirits. The idea of honoring Valentine’s Day with a Member Drive feels so right to me.

Your support can be the catalyst that keeps these vital services alive. By becoming a Soaring Spirits International Member, you play a crucial role in ensuring that our inclusive programs continue to thrive, providing resources, community, and most importantly, hope to every widowed person in need.

Soaring Spirits’ mission is simple: to help widowed people find hope and each other. With over four million widowed individuals connected across the United States and around the world, we’ve become the global leader in providing grief-recovery resources for the widowed in just 15 years.  https://soaringspirits.org/membership/

DID YOU KNOW . . . ???

Did you know that last year alone, Soaring Spirits served 4,725,000 people globally?

Did you know 31,500 Widowed People Attended a Regional Social Group in 2025?

Did you know that our Camp Widow Documentary had 23,500 Online Viewings so far and 3,500 screening attendees?

 

A widowed person is connected to each one of those statistics.

 

One widowed person at a time is served by Soaring Spirits International.

  • DIRECT SUPPORT FOR WIDOWED PEOPLE
  • GRIEF LITERACY TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONALS
  • PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVE GRIEF LITERACY TRAINING
  • SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES AND NETWORKS

And we, the widowed people, are providing those services. For a closer look, check out our first Soaring Spirits International Annual Report for more fun facts.

 

There is strength and power together.

 

There is no one better to tell the world about what Soaring Spirits offers to widows and widowers. No one knows better than another widow the challenges, large and small, that we face. Peer to peer we explore the deeper message beneath the daily struggles. Staying in tune with widowed people allows us to share the countless victories that we experience. It is rewarding and meaningful to offer real help and support to widowed people worldwide.

I’ll return here with an update next week . . . in the meantime, can you offer a “widowbit”?

About Kathie Neff

Kathie Neff was widowed on April 15, 2021. She and her beloved husband, Dan, were high school sweethearts and enjoyed dancing and riding horses together. They lived in gratitude, hope and forgiveness for 50 years and nine months when Dan passed quietly late at night, surrounded by their seven children who, with Kathie, were caring for him in their family home.

Dan and Kathie have been a part of Camp Widow and Soaring Spirits International since its inception, as members of Michele Neff Hernandez’s cadre of helpers from the Neff family.

Kathie believes strongly in the strength and bond that is the gift of community and brings a heart of love for all who have been affected by death and dying.

Long live love. XO
