The Widows' Well
Historically, a well has been a place where women have gathered in community and could
draw not only water but encouragement from one another. Here, widows can come together
in a safe and nurturing environment that will allow them to continue to grow and learn in this season of life. It’s a place where women can say the name of their late husband and feel that others understand what it feels like to lose someone so close. Contact: Annie-Claude | ext 1300
