Widow Support TT

Widow Support TT Founded in 2011 by Soraya Nanan — Widow, Attorney, Motivational Speaker & Single Mother. Widow Support TT, through the experiences of its founder Ms.

Widow Support TT empowers widows across T&T to heal, rebuild & rise through support, advocacy & sisterhood💜 Widow Support TT (formerly the Lincoln Nanan Foundation) is a community for widows founded by Soraya Nanan-widow, lawyer, single mother, friend & speaker. It is a sisterhood of widows who are supportive, non-judgemental, understanding, caring, thoughtful & compassionate. We provide a safe haven where persons in grief can speak openly about their grief. Soraya Nanan, has recognised the need to have proper support systems in place on the loss of a husband. It is for this reason that the Widow Support TT’s primary goal is to offer support, advice and enrichment to the lives of widows. Despite our focus we recognise the importance of raising awareness on leukaemia in tandem with our support work. In the long term, we hope to advocate for greater focus on bone marrow transplants in Trinidad and Tobago. In a glance, Widow Support TT aims to:

1. Offer complete support – emotional, mental, and financial to widows in an attempt to enrich their lives.

2. Offer grief counselling to children who have lost a parent .

3. Establish a Widow’s Fund to assist women, financially, emotionally and otherwise, who need support after experiencing the death of their husband.

4. Network with relevant local and international organisations and professionals to ensure that widows have the support they need.

5. Source funds from donations and grants. In the long term, Widow Support TT aims to:

1. Set up a bone marrow transplant donor list for persons who are diagnosed with leukaemia and need to get a donor for a bone marrow transplant.

2. Educate persons on leukaemia and its treatment.

3. Financially assist persons of any age group who need life saving treatment, surgery or otherwise.


“Let us lend support for others going through this journey, which is very real and raw to us. No man is an island.” – Ms. Soraya Nanan

I lost you…
but I got to love you.

And for that, I will forever be grateful.

Grief doesn’t erase love.
Loss doesn’t cancel the memories.
Even in the pain, there is gratitude — for the moments shared, the laughter, the life we built, and the love that still lives on in us.

For those of us walking this widowhood journey, may we hold space for both the heartbreak **and** the gratitude. Both can exist together.

You are loved. You are seen. You are not alone.

The deeper you heal, the more your body begins to reject what once felt normal.

You start to notice the tension sooner.
The heaviness in certain conversations.
The exhaustion that comes from spaces that no longer feel safe or supportive.

That isn’t you being “too sensitive.”
That is your healing teaching you what peace actually feels like.

When you’ve known deep loss, your heart learns to protect itself. You begin to choose calm over chaos, kindness over confusion, and presence over pressure.

It’s okay if your body now reacts to energy that once didn’t bother you.
It simply means you are no longer willing to carry what is not meant for you.

Healing changes your tolerance — and that is growth, not weakness. 🌿

Healing does not erase the past.
It doesn’t pretend the pain never happened or that the memories no longer exist.

Healing gently teaches us how to carry what we’ve been through —
with strength, with grace, and with a little more peace than before.

For those of us living with loss, healing isn’t about “moving on.”
It’s about learning to move forward while still holding love for the person we miss.

Take your time.
Carry your story in the way that feels right for you.
There is no deadline on healing. 💛

Progress is still progress — even when it’s quiet.
Even when no one sees it.
Even when all you did today was get out of bed, breathe, and survive.

Healing after loss doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some days progress is laughter. Other days it’s tears. Some days it’s simply choosing to stay. All of it counts.

If today felt heavy, please know this: you are not failing. You are moving forward in the only way you can — one moment at a time.

Be kind to yourself. Your journey is valid. Your pace is enough. 🤍

Grief is not just about the moment they died. It’s about the **absence** that follows.

It’s waking up and reaching for someone who is no longer there.
It’s the quiet at night.
The empty space at the table.
The decisions you now make alone.

It’s learning how to live in a world that no longer looks or feels the same —
because the person who anchored it is missing.

For widows, grief isn’t something you “get over.”
It’s something you learn to carry, day by day, breath by breath.

And if today feels heavy, know this:
You are not weak.
You are not broken.
You are grieving love.

🖤🤍

World Cancer Day 2026 — United by Unique

Today, we stand together in remembrance, in love, and in solidarity.

Cancer has touched every heart in our WSTT community.
Our members have lost spouses, close family members, and dear friends to this disease — lives that were deeply loved and will never be forgotten.

This year’s World Cancer Day theme, “United by Unique,” reminds us that every cancer journey is different — and so is every story of loss.
Each person we grieve was unique.
Each relationship was unique.
Each path through grief is deeply personal.

On this day, we honour their memories.
We acknowledge the pain, the unanswered questions, and the quiet moments of grief that still surface, even years later.
We recognise the strength it takes to keep going after loss — to wake up, show up, and carry love forward in the absence of someone who meant everything.

World Cancer Day is not only about awareness.
It is about compassion.
It is about holding space for those who grieve.
It is about reminding one another that even in loss, we are not alone.

To every widow, caregiver, and loved one left behind — we see you.
Your grief is valid.
Your love endures.
Your story matters.

🕊️ Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

When you lose someone you love, your world changes in ways words can’t fully explain.

Grief is not something to rush or “get over.” It’s something we learn to live with, one breath at a time.

Be gentle with yourself on the hard days. Healing takes time, and it doesn’t follow a straight path. Some days you may feel strong, and other days the weight of missing them may feel overwhelming — and that’s okay.

It’s okay to feel sad.
It’s okay to miss them deeply.
It’s okay to grieve in your own way and at your own pace.

Here at WSTT, we are a community that understands loss, holds space for healing, and walks alongside one another through the journey. You are not alone. We are here — fixing each other’s crowns, with love and compassion. 🤍👑
