A Grief Getaway
for young widows and their kids
The Reason Behind It
There are over 700,000 new widows each year in America and 1.5 million children live in a single-parent household due to the death of a parent. The founders of Broken Halos Haven, Natalie Reid and her three boys, are a part of that statistic.
The sudden loss of a loved one takes the people left behind into a whirlwind of activity and emotions. When friends and neighbors hear the news of someone’s passing they instantly want to do something to help the family, but they’re mostly at a loss as to what that really looks like (which means there’s usually an instant influx of cash and casseroles!).
As the days, weeks and months pass, the family is left alone to navigate their “new normal” and begin living life again. But their old life has been shattered. It can be lonely, isolating and overwhelming picking up the pieces as they start to move forward.
Located in the heart of Dallas/Ft. Worth, Broken Halos Haven is a grief getaway for young widows and their school-age children with three main goals:
To allow grieving families a stress-free, no-cost getaway.
To empower and build the confidence of widows who are now parenting alone.
To help widows realize it’s OK to have fun, enjoy life, and find joy again.
