Helping widows in NW Atlanta write their story of hope.

ABOUT US

reminding widows there is hope in Christ.

Widowhood can be exhausting. It can be overwhelming. It can feel like a roller coaster of emotions. In addition to grieving the loss of their husbands, widows are suddenly faced with what feels like hundreds of decisions to make and tasks to accomplish.

While some have friends and family that rally around them during the toughest days of their journey, others don’t. And when the support systems fade as seasons of life change, some widows are left feeling alone and without hope…

  • I am so thankful for Story of Hope Ministries and the way they have been His hands and feet in my life. I was shown love and care not only for me as a widow, but also as a mother of a child in the middle of a medical crisis. Story of Hope is a ministry of beauty from the ashes of deep loss. The prayers and support from this faithful group have been a beautiful reminder that I am seen, and I am not alone.

  • I am thankful and excited to be with such amazing women that are walking through the toughest times we have ever experienced - with grace and hope. The events at SOH have brought life back to me. Thank you to Jeni for all you do and may God continue to bless you and your family for all you do.

  • I lost my husband to a gut wrenching 4.5 year battle with Colon cancer a year ago. While I mourned during those hard 4 years, I never knew how incredibly painful it would be to actually lose him. My daughter and a friend encouraged me over and over again this past year to go to a SOH gathering. My answer in the beginning was that I wasn't ready;a few months later I would find any excuse to not be available to go to a gathering. My heart just couldn't take sitting in a room full of "widows." Fast forward to the year mark of losing Adam, my daughter and friend, Cynthia, really encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and attend the luncheon. I am so glad that they did. I met so many incredible women, realized that I knew one of the women at the luncheon and had no idea that she too is a widow, and couldn't believe how thoughtful the afternoon was planned. It was honestly mind blowing how every little detail was thought of and no stone was left unturned. I felt so loved, so seen, and it was nice to sit in a room that every woman there knows how souls crushing this past year has been for me. I will definitely continue to be a part of this lovely group of women that show love in so many ways.
