The National Widowers’ Organization is a men’s grief network. Our website serves as a virtual toolkit of free resources for men coping with the death of a loved one. It’s a place where men can meet others going through the same transition. If there’s one loss that men could use a little help from their friends to cope with, it’s the death of a spouse, a lover, a parent, a child, or a lifelong friend. And it’s often help that only other men can provide.
