We Are Here to Walk Beside You

Navigating life after loss requires more than just answers—it takes a trusted community. Based out of our Sarasota headquarters, the Widows Resource Council brings together experienced Christian counselors, skilled financial advisors, practical care coordinators, and dedicated mentors.

Every member of our team is committed to treating you with dignity, respect, and Christ-centered care.

Our Story

The loss of a spouse is one of life’s most profound transitions, often bringing overwhelming grief, difficulty managing practical burdens, and deep loneliness. The Widows Resource Council was founded in Sarasota, Florida, to ensure that no woman has to navigate this path by herself.

We are a Christ-centered ministry committed to offering holistic support—meeting emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual needs with dignity, respect, and unconditional love. Whether a widow is newly bereaved or many years into her journey, our desire is to stand beside her as a constant source of encouragement, guidance, and community
