Volume 3: Community Outreach – Tips for the Widower

Please listen to a brief audio overview of the Tips for the Widower program.

Strategic Brief: Tips for the Widower

Initiative:

This program is a first in our profession, and was developed with one aftercare idea in mind – helping the widower with dealing with practical aspects of living life after the death of a spouse.

Tile: “Tips for the Widower”

Topic:
This program covers some major life adjustment issues that are faced by most widowers. Namely: doing laundry, cooking healthy meals, cleaning up a house/apartment, shopping for groceries, and general overall personal hygiene.

Why Is This Initiative Important?

This program is very important simply because so many widower’s are left to their own devises after the death of their spouse, and this is particularly true when all the surviving children live in areas far away from their parent’s home.

What Is The Goal of This Initiative?

As with all the programs the goal is simple: to help and serve people. That’s it!

How Are You Going to Achieve This Goal?

Just give this booklet out to each and every family you service. Many funeral homes quietly and simply put the booklet in packet containing the register book.

What Are The Other Opportunities For This Program?

In a general sense this program is universal, a type of “evergreen program.” You can utilize the contents of this information for most every human being who lives in your community. Also this program is an example of a “seed planting” program, whereby you just hand the booklet out and let the program take a life on of its own. This program is also very inexpensive – just paper, that’s it.
