About Us
Why an association for widows and widowers?
Widowhood is not something that people easily talk about. Friends and family often try their best, particularly in the period immediately after the bereavement, but they don't really understand what that person is feeling unless they have experienced a loss, too. After a while, often a very short while, people start to imply that you should be moving on, letting go, and putting it behind you.
If it were that easy, there would be no need for the NAW. We know that adjusting to life without a partner is a slow and difficult process.
The NAW believes that what most widows and widowers need is to feel that they are not alone, that there are others who do understand how they feel and will offer unconditional, non-judgemental support.
