Summary of Walk With a Widow Empower Educate Prepare A Guide to Launching the Walk With a Widow Program by Cynthia Mascarenhas PDF
Walk with a Widow was founded with the purpose of equipping the church with tools and resources to provide much needed immediate and ongoing support to a new widow. Our mission is to empower widows, educate non-widows, and prepare married couples for the inevitable. In the early days of widowhood, a widow needs other people to come alongside her and help with any emotional, spiritual, and practical challenges she encounters. The people around her, including the church, find themselves ill-equipped to help her; hence, they stay away. We educate non-widows on "what to say" and "what not to say"; we give them tips on how to understand a widow. We also provide practical resources that can be used to help widows. By educating non-widows, we enable them to empower widows and we get them to a place where they are not as uncomfortable around the subjects of grief and death. Lastly, we understand that a lot of widows and widowers would find themselves in a better place if they had taken the time to have the difficult conversations about death and widowhood. We provide conversation starters, discussion points, and practical tools for financial/legal matters. Starting these conversations early in a marriage, and continuing them throughout the course of a marriage allows a couple to be more equipped mentally and emotionally to make end-of-life decisions. Our Guidebook also offers resources and tools for married couples in respite care; we believe it is wise to walk alongside a person caring for a terminally ill spouse and then transition into walking with the widow or widower. Our Guidebook offers suggestions on how to set up a core team within the church which will coordinate assistance for a widow using the already existing ministries in the church. We give tips on how to set up boundaries, how to avoid certain pitfalls, and how to circumvent certain challenges in showing care for a widow. We hope and pray that our resources allow a church to take seriously the biblical mandate in James 1:27 to "care for the widows and orphans". Our desire is to see the church be the hands and feet of Jesus in the hurting world of widows.
