Next to her mentorship, and her advocacy for widows
and families affected by suicide, Widows To Windows
was formed.
Facts
With 12.8 million widows, the United States has the third
largest group of widows behind China (43 million) and
India (42 million). Widows, especially suicide widows, are
often forgotten, disinherited, and stigmatized, and they
feel depressed and isolated. 1-in-5 Americans live with a
mental health condition. and every year in the United
States more than 45,000 people take their own lives;
many of whom leave behind loved ones. Meaning, a vast
community of widows and other suicide survivors trying
to sort out the grief, the blame, the shame, the guilt, the
anger, the what-ifs, and that vague dark cloud of being
stigmatized because of it.
Our Approach
Widows To Windows is dedicated to working with
organizations and individuals to ensure widows and
suicide widows have access to the resources they need
to live again.
