Widow Tree is a gentle, grounding space for widows and widowers to find connection, understanding, and hope.

Founded in Oxfordshire, our peer-led support network grew from a simple idea — that nobody should have to navigate grief alone. In the quiet after loss, many of us long for understanding, companionship, and a sense of belonging. Widow Tree was created to meet that need — to offer a place where stories can be shared, tears are welcome, and laughter slowly returns.

We believe healing happens in community — in the small, everyday moments of kindness that remind us we are still connected to life, to others, and to ourselves. Through local meet-ups, online gatherings, and creative seasonal projects, Widow Tree offers gentle opportunities to reconnect — with nature, with others, and with your own sense of purpose.

Our approach is simple and heartfelt. We are not counsellors or clinicians; we are people who have lived through loss and understand its language. Together, we hold space for one another — to listen, to share, and to rebuild, one conversation, one connection, and one small act of courage at a time.

Whether you join us in person, online, or quietly follow along from afar, know that you are part of something rooted in compassion and community.

You are not alone.
