KEY POINTS

The loss of a spouse leaves an emptiness that can feel impossible to fill. If loneliness and grief are weighing you down, know that you are not alone. Many have walked this path before you. Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and Ryan Heapy reminds you there is hope for healing and connection.

Share your grief.

Find solace and support in the company of others who understand your pain. Sharing your story and hearing others’ experiences can be incredibly cathartic and empowering.

Embrace your Community.

Volunteer, join a club, or take a class. Engaging with your community can offer new connections, a sense of purpose, and a welcome distraction from grief.

Open Your Heart to a Furry Friend.

The unconditional love of a pet can be a balm for a lonely heart. Consider adopting a furry companion who can bring joy, companionship, and a reason to smile.

You are stronger than you know. While the pain of loss may never fully fade, there is always hope for a future filled with new meaning and connection.
