NOW WHAT? Workshop

A free virtual workshop for widows

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

Now what?

You may be functioning on the outside—showing up, handling responsibilities, and doing what needs to be done—while feeling like a hot mess on the inside.

You know you don’t want to remain stuck in survival mode. You just don’t know where to begin—or what comes next.

This free workshop will help you pause, consider where you are now, and identify one practical, faithful next step toward rebuilding your life.

 Loss can change nearly every part of your life—your identity, routines, relationships, responsibilities, and plans for the future.

Eventually, you may realize that surviving is no longer enough. You want something to change, but trying to figure out your entire future feels overwhelming.

NOW WHAT? Finding Your Next Faithful Step After Loss is a supportive, no-pressure workshop for widows who may look as though they are doing fine but know there is more happening beneath the surface.

This isn’t about fixing your grief, rushing into a new life, or pretending everything is okay.

It’s about understanding where you are, recognizing what you need in this season, and giving yourself permission to take one faithful step forward.

• You are handling your responsibilities, but privately feel uncertain, disconnected, or overwhelmed.

• You are tired of living in survival mode but don’t know how to begin moving forward.

• Your old life no longer fits, but your new life still feels unclear.

• You feel overwhelmed when you try to think too far into the future.

• You want to experience hope, purpose, and joy without feeling guilty.

• You want faith-inspired encouragement that honors the reality of your grief.

You don’t have to be fearless, fully healed, or certain about your future.

You only have to be willing to consider what may come next.

• 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.

• Make room for grief and hope to exist together.

• Identify one practical, faithful next step toward rebuilding.

You won’t leave with your entire future mapped out.

You’ll leave with greater clarity about what you need now—and a next step that feels meaningful and doable.

• A live virtual workshop led by Andria Gaskins

• Faith-inspired teaching and encouragement

• Guided reflection

• Practical exercises to help you identify your next step

• A supportive, no-pressure environment

• Time to listen, reflect, and participate at your own comfort level

Bring a journal or notebook and something to write with.

You will never be required to share your story or speak during the workshop. You are welcome to come as you are, listen, and participate in whatever way feels right for you.

I’m Andria Gaskins, founder of RESTORED Widow.

After my husband, Scott, died in 2021, I had to learn how to navigate grief while rebuilding a life I never expected to live without him.

I didn’t receive a complete plan for what came next. Most of the time, I was simply trying to recognize the next faithful step—and find the courage to take it.

That experience became part of the foundation for RESTORED Widow, a community created to help widows navigate grief, reclaim hope, and rebuild life.

I created the NOW WHAT? Workshop because you don’t need to have your entire future figured out today.

Sometimes, you simply need a safe place to begin.
