Inspiring, equipping, and giving hope to widows to live life abundantly
What is Widow Goals?
Widow Goals is a nonprofit organization created to support widows—especially in the first year after losing their spouse, when everything feels unfamiliar, overwhelming, and uncertain.
When I became a widow at 41, I had no idea how difficult those first few months—and that first year—would be. Even with faith, family, and friends, nothing could fully prepare me for the depth of the loss.
So I did something simple but life-changing. I reached out to widows.
I asked every single one of them the same question:
“Will it get better?”
And every single one of them said yes.
Those words gave me something I desperately needed—hope.
Not because they were comforting… but because they were coming from women who truly understood.
There is something powerful about hearing from someone who has walked the road you’re on.
Connecting with other widows changed everything for me.
At the same time, I was incredibly blessed with friends and family who stepped in and helped with the practical things I suddenly didn’t know how to manage—bills, yard work, car issues, and so much more. When my husband died, I didn’t just lose him emotionally—I lost my partner in everyday life.
My husband of nearly 17 years…
my “Mr. Fix-it”…
my children’s dad…
my best friend…
the love of my life.
So many roles—gone in an instant.
Today, it has been almost six years since my sweet Luke went to heaven. In that time, God has done what only He can do—He has healed my broken heart and truly turned my mourning into dancing.
Do I still experience grief? Yes.
But I also experience joy, purpose, and hope again.
And through my journey, I’ve seen something clearly:
So many widows are walking this road alone.
They don’t have the support.
They don’t have the guidance.
They don’t have someone who truly understands.
That’s why Widow Goals was created.
God placed a dream on my heart—to give back to the widow community and create something I wish I had when I first became a widow.
