Men Helping Men to Better Navigate the Widower's Journey

    ORLANDO, FL, September 07, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Developed from founder Tom Pisello's own widower journey experiences, Growth through Grief delivers a proprietary framework and interactive assessment tools to inform the healing process, podcast interviews with fellow widowers, mental health professionals, medical experts, faith leaders and growth mindset coaches to improve perspectives and learnings from others, and most importantly, in-person and virtual gatherings and healing retreats to assemble fellow widowers to support each other in fellowship.

"When I became a widower, I was running a business and traveling, with two teenage daughters I still needed to get through school to adulthood, all while suffering from loss, depression and alcohol abuse: unfortunately an all too common story for the modern widower," says Tom Pisello, founder of Growth through Grief. "Men don't often ask for the help they need, and I learned first-hand that as I did raise my hand to get support, that widowers are underserved, with little in the way of resources and community they can leverage to help them better understand and overcome these challenges. This widower's-healing-gap was our inspiration for the advice, tools and community of Growth through Grief."

Growth through Grief resources and events are designed holistically, to improve the mind, body and spirit of the grieving widower, and achieve faster healing and transition from loss to growth.

"In my practice, I find that Widowers need specific support and understanding, which can be difficult to get from their current friends and family, general grief sharing groups, church or bible study gatherings, or the handful of widower self-help books available," says Helen Keeling Neal, mental health professional and Growth through Grief board member. "Independent therapists can help, but there is an urgent need for widowers to have a dedicated community and support beyond the occasional therapist visit or general grief resources."

Growth through Grief is designed as a non-profit resource to address specific widower issues, with tools, assessments and insights from mental health, wellness, spiritual and growth experts and a community of fellow widowers providing man-to-man peer support and better healing through brotherhood and fellowship.

"Each widower uniquely deals with their loss, sadness and grief, and engage all at different stages in their journey," says Christopher Ice, widower, business consultant and Growth through Grief board member. "However, we have much in common, and by sharing our stories as we go through the process, we can help other widowers with comfort, healing and guidance, as well as helping ourselves heal through our own sharing and acts of service."
