A Different Journey Day

This day will provide understanding, encouragement and support to those who have suffered the death of a partner early in life, whatever the circumstances.
If you have ever felt that no one else understands the loneliness, pain and heartache you feel since your husband or wife died, this day is for you.

You'll find the day is designed to give you comfort - and hope for the future. It also provides an opportunity to meet with other young, widowed people and learn from shared experiences. There will be time to talk, cry, laugh, or just to be quiet.
