Healing at the Well

At Healing at the Well, we believe in creating hope and healing for widows and their children who have walked through the devastating loss of a spouse and parent. We provide professional grief coaching and counseling so that no widow has to feel unseen, unheard or alone in their grief journey.

Our vision grew from two widows who walked alongside each other after becoming widowed, providing mutual grief support. In that shared experience, they realized the profound need in the widowed community for personalized grief coaching during those first agonizing days, weeks and months. They took their own pain and turned it into purpose by creating Healing at the Well.
