The Irreverent Widow

The Irreverent Widow is a person, a community, and a movement.

Borne out of horrible circumstance, IW is the brainchild of artist/writer Sandi Amorello who, after losing her husband at too early an age…and being asked to take out her credit card to join a grief support group… sat back and said – “You shouldn’t have to pay to grieve.”

Amorello helped herself overcome sadness and grief by finding humor in events and “first steps”in order to move forward with her life. And she is here to pay it forward.

IW is, essentially, grief support for women who don’t fit the typical widow mold. This is not an age-based group but, rather, a mind-based group. That is to say IW is for all women who believe that there is life after death here on terra firma. And it’s a life that still contains a lot of laughter. It is a free, peer-to-peer service that connects to women on a very real level through the experience of a woman who has been there and done that.
