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

Some wounds cannot be seen, yet they are the ones that ache the most. Many people carry pain quietly while still showing up, smiling, and trying to be strong for everyone else.

If this speaks to you today, please know you are not weak, and you are not alone. Healing does not always happen loudly—sometimes it begins in silence, one breath, one prayer, one small step at a time.

At Widow Support Trinidad and Tobago, we understand that grief, heartbreak, and emotional exhaustion can feel overwhelming. Let this be your reminder to be gentle with yourself and to reach out when the weight feels too heavy.

Even broken hearts can heal. Even dark seasons can pass. 🤍

Trinidad and Tobago is hurting🇹🇹

The crime news over the past few days has left many people feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained. Constant exposure to violence and tragedy can affect our mental health more than we realize.

If you are feeling heavy today, please know your feelings are valid. It is okay to step away from the news, take a break from social media, talk to someone you trust, pray, breathe, and protect your peace.

As a nation, we must continue to support one another, show kindness, and look out for those who may be silently struggling.

You are not alone. Healing begins when we care for each other. 🤍

Grief changes us in ways we never expected. It teaches us to guard our peace, protect our mornings, and become more mindful of who and what we allow into our lives. That is not weakness—it is growth through pain.

Healing is not always easy, and some days may feel heavier than others. But no one should have to walk this journey alone. That is why spaces like WSTT matter so deeply. Here, we find understanding hearts, shared strength, encouragement, and the reminder that even after loss, life can still hold hope and connection.

To every member: your presence matters. Your story matters. Even on difficult days, you are part of a family that heals and grieves together. Sometimes simply staying connected can be the first step toward brighter days ahead. 💙🦋

There are moments in life that quietly break you…
and for many of us, this is one we will never forget.

That walk out of the hospital —
when the world keeps moving, but yours stands still.
When every step feels heavy,
and you wish you could turn back just one more time…
for one more word, one more touch, one more moment.

But you keep walking…
because somehow, you have to.

Grief doesn’t end at that door.
It follows you home, into the silence,
into the spaces they once filled so effortlessly.

And yet, even in that pain,
love remains.

We carry them in our hearts, in our memories,
in the quiet moments no one else sees.

If you’ve taken that walk,
please know you are not alone. 🤍
We understand. We stand with you. We walk this journey together.

Some of us tell ourselves, “everything happens for a reason”…

Not because we fully understand the pain.
Not because it didn’t break us.
But because it became the only way we could make sense of what we’ve been through.

Grief and trauma don’t always come with answers.
Sometimes, they leave us learning how to live with questions that may never be resolved.

At WSTT, we see that journey for what it truly is—
not easy, not neat and not always understood by others.

We know what it takes to get through the days that don’t make sense,
and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up anyway.

Here, you don’t have to explain your pain or pretend you’re okay.
You are seen, you are understood, and you are not alone 🤍

We heal and grieve together.

Words matter… especially in grief. 💙

What we say to ourselves in our quiet moments can either break us or begin to rebuild us.

As widows, there are days when positivity feels impossible — and that’s okay. Healing is not about pretending everything is fine. It’s about gently reminding ourselves that even in the pain, there is still hope… still purpose… still life ahead.

Speak gently over yourself.
Speak strength when you feel weak.
Speak peace when your heart is heavy.

And even on the hardest days, whisper to yourself: *“I will get through this.”

Because you will. And you are not alone. 🤍🦋

✨Thank you to our Strategic Planning Officer, Nafarah Ali, for sharing this beautiful reminder with our WSTT family.
