Find Your Next Gentle Step

NOW WHAT? Finding Your Next Faithful Step After Loss

Thursday, September 10, 2026 | 6:30 PM EST | Virtual Workshop

After loss, one of the hardest questions can be surprisingly simple:

Now what?

You may know that you don't want to remain stuck in survival mode, but that doesn't mean you know what comes next. Rebuilding can feel overwhelming when your life, identity, routines, and plans have all changed.

NOW WHAT? Finding Your Next Faithful Step After Loss is a faith-rooted, no-pressure workshop for widows who are ready for more than survival but aren't sure where to begin.

During our time together, you'll be encouraged to:

• Name where you are in this season without judging your progress
• Understand why figuring out what comes next can feel so overwhelming
• Consider what you need most right now
• Reconnect with what matters to you in this season
• Identify one practical, faithful next step toward rebuilding
• Make room for grief and hope to exist together

This is not about fixing your grief, rushing into a new life, or pretending that your love story no longer matters. It's about finding clarity, steadiness, and direction for the next part of your journey—one step at a time.

You don't have to have everything figured out. You only need a safe place to begin asking:

What is mine to do next?

Join us for a beautiful fall day at Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Instead of gathering for brunch this month, we’re heading to the orchard to pick apples, enjoy the mountain air, and make new memories with women who understand life after loss.

Widows are welcome to bring their children, grandchildren, family members, or a friend. We’ll meet as a group, take a photo, and pick apples together before gathering for a picnic lunch. Afterward, guests may enjoy the orchard’s optional activities, including wagon rides, the corn maze, apple cannons, the bakery, apple cider donuts, and more.

Admission to the orchard is free. Each guest is responsible for the cost of apples, food, and optional activities. Pack a simple picnic lunch or plan to purchase food from an onsite vendor, if available—and be sure to leave room for apple cider donuts and cider!

Guests may meet us directly at the orchard or request to participate in an optional Charlotte-area carpool. Carpool details and the official meeting time will be shared with registered guests.

Come as you are, bring someone you love, and enjoy a beautiful fall day with the RESTORED Widow community.

Registration is required.

Hi, I’m Andria, founder of The RESTORED Widow. I created these events because grief can feel isolating—and connection can be healing when it’s gentle, honest, and pressure-free. My hope is that each gathering feels like a small exhale… and a real next step.
