PROUDLY SERVING THE

WIDOWED COMMUNITY

IN ITS ENTIRETY

SINCE 2006

              We're here...

                                    We care

Welcome to Widows Wear Stilettos.  If you are yourself widowed, let us first convey our deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your beloved.  There truly are no words to describe the pain, the grief and the loneliness that you are likely feeling.  We also welcome those of you who may be facing the prospect of widowhood due to the catastrophic or terminal illness of your spouse and are pleased and privileged to be of assistance to you during this difficult time.  We are always profoundly sorry when someone needs us; yet at the same time, we are thrilled that you found us and that we can be of service to you. 

Widows Wear Stilettos is proud to welcome anyone who has suffered or may be facing the loss of a spouse / partner; regardless of age, gender, technical martial status, sexual orientation, length of time married, length of time widowed or circumstances surrounding spousal death.  If you are visiting on behalf of a loved one or friend who is widowed or who may be facing widowhood, thank you for taking the time to visit and more importantly, for taking the time to locate assistance and support for your loved one.  They need and appreciate you. 

While we acknowledge and encourage the philosophy that there is a time for bereavement, a time to grieve and that grieving is a vital part of the healing process, Widows Wear Stilettos also firmly believes in addressing, "What now?" and "What next?".  It is our mission to gently guide you through the painful period of grief, trial and transition into a life filled with renewed hope and promise.  We are dedicated to the continued mobilization of a largely overlooked population and providing support, education, healing, caring, sharing and strength.

Our name is based on the books by award-winning author, grief recovery expert, speaker and Widows Wear Stilettos, Inc. Founder and CEO, Carole Brody Fleet, entitled, "Widows Wear Stilettos..." (New Horizon Press) and "Happily EVEN After: A Guide  to Getting Through (and Beyond!) the Grief of Widowhood" (Viva Editions) as well as the bestselling spoken-word CD, entitled, "Widows Wear Stilettos: What Now?". 

The Widows Wear Stilettos' approach to grief recovery differs from other books and organizations, in that we offer both practical guidance and emotional guidance and occasionally do so with a bit of a smile. The first book also includes quizzes, journal space, affirmations, "contracts" and other activities designed to help you actually see your recovery in progress. 

Winner of the  "Books for a Better Life" Award, one of the top awards in publishing and recognized as one of the best self-improvement books of 2012, Carole's second book, "Happily EVEN After..." (Viva Editions) is the first  and only book of its kind in the genre.  "Happily EVEN After..." answers the most common and pressing questions that the widowed generally have, both immediately following a spouse's death as well as months and even years thereafter.  The questions contained in the book are excerpted from thousands of actual letters written by real widowed to Widows Wear Stilettos and the responses are Carole's actual answers to those questions; based upon considerable personal and professional experience and insight.  "Happily EVEN After..." also includes observations and commentary; explaining the questions and issues that you will find contained in each chapter; so that no matter where you are on your Healing Journey, you can easily access answers to your own particular questions and situations. 

The CD, entitled,  "Widows Wear Stilettos: What Now?" is a valuable healing tool that offers comfort and direction as you move through the first difficult weeks and months after your husband's death and also speaks to those who may have been widowed for awhile, yet may feel "stuck" in their grief.  Rather than a "book-on-audio", the CD is a helpful companion to the books and widows of all ages will be able to utilize the important education insights, opinions and advice that are offered. 

In addition to the support and education that you will find on our website, Widows Wear Stilettos is also pleased to offer in-person support groups. For further information on how to either facilitate or attend a group in your area, (including Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia), please visit the "Monthly Newsletter" and "Tips of the Month" pages. 

The Widows Wear Stilettos website is updated at least once a month. Don't forget to visit our page on Facebook at Widows Wear Stilettos to make new friends and share thoughts and ideas with other Widows Wear Stilettos friends and to stay up-to-date with everything that is happening at WWS.  Be sure to send your email address to WidowsWStilettos@aol.com so that we can include you in our database and keep you current on everything that is happening at Widows Wear Stilettos***  Please note that due to the volume of mail that we receive, we cannot guarantee a personal response; however, EVERY SINGLE COMMUNICATION IS READ and we endeavor to answer as many as possible.****

Above all please know that you are not alone.  You may not know any other widowed right now, but that does NOT mean that there aren't millions just like you out there and we are delighted to be here for you.  Please visit often, take heart and reach out...remember, we're here and we care. We welcome you to the Widows Wear Stilettos family of support, education and community.

"While your widowhood will definitely shape you, it does not have to define you. 

The grieving process is vital to healing; however, do not feel like you are destined to

live in a place of grief and sorrow forever,

as it is a destiny that you did not choose. 

In other words, you do not have to settle for where you are,

if where you are is not where you choose to be"
