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

🌿 Welcome March 🌿

A new month is here — a fresh chapter filled with new beginnings, brighter days, and renewed hope.

At Widow Support Trinidad & Tobago, we know that healing does not follow a calendar. But each new month is a gentle reminder that growth is still possible. Even after loss. Even after heartbreak.

March invites us to move forward — not forgetting, but carrying love with strength. To dream again. To breathe again. To believe again.

To every widow walking this journey: may this month bring you peace in quiet moments, courage in difficult ones, and hope that continues to rise.

You are not alone. 💜

✨ It’s happening tonight.

Six worlds. One horizon. One unforgettable sky.

On February 28, the Solar System performs a rare evening parade.
Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter stretch along the ecliptic — like pearls threaded across the fading twilight.

🌕 In the east, Jupiter dominates the sky near the twins of Gemini, blazing beside a bright, nearly full Moon. It’s the anchor of the night.

🔭 Higher up in Ta**us, Uranus rests quietly beneath the Pleiades star cluster. A pair of binoculars will reveal its subtle glow.

🌅 Turn west, and the challenge begins. Venus burns brilliantly in the dying light, while Mercury and Saturn hover low near the horizon — racing against the setting Sun. Neptune lingers nearby, but only a telescope and precise timing will uncover it.

And in a single sweep of your eyes, you’re looking across billions of kilometers of space — worlds that rarely share the same stage.

Tonight, they do.

Step outside. Let your eyes adjust.
Look up — and watch the Solar System align before you. 🌌

Grief is not something to be fixed. It is something to be felt. 🤍

Sometimes widows don’t need to hear that their loved one is “in a better place.”
Sometimes we don’t need advice.
Sometimes we don’t need timelines.

What we need is honesty — that the loss is unbearable, that it changed everything, and that missing them will never simply “go away.”

At WSTT, we honour your grief. We give you permission to miss them, to speak their name, to cry, to remember — without being rushed, judged, or silenced.

Your love did not end. And neither does your right to grieve in your own time.

🤍

Today, Widow Support Trinidad & Tobago (WSTT) proudly joins the global community in observing World NGO Day.

This day recognises the invaluable work of non-governmental organisations around the world — organisations driven not by profit, but by purpose. NGOs stand in the gaps. We advocate. We educate. We uplift. We serve.

At WSTT, our mission is simple but powerful: to ensure that widows in Trinidad and Tobago are seen, heard, supported and empowered. Through advocacy, education, outreach, and our Circle of Care, we continue to create safe spaces where widows can find strength, community, and hope.

Being an NGO is not always easy. It requires sacrifice, dedication, volunteerism, and unwavering belief in the cause. But today reminds us that impact is not measured by size — it is measured by lives touched and voices amplified.

We thank every volunteer, partner, supporter, and member who makes our work possible. Because of you, WSTT continues to grow, to advocate, and to make a difference.

On this World NGO Day, we reaffirm our commitment:

✨ To stand for widows.
✨ To push for policy reform.
✨ To build community.
✨ To transform grief into strength.

Together, we give voice to the unseen and hope to the unheard.

When a partner dies, we do not just lose a person — we become the keeper of a whole world that only the two of you truly knew. 🤍

There are memories, private jokes, quiet routines, shared dreams… a life built in deep intimacy and love. And suddenly, one heart is left carrying it all.

It is both a privilege and, at times, a heavy burden to be the sole holder of those sacred memories.

To every widow walking this path: your love did not end. It lives in the stories you tell, the values you carry forward, and the strength you show each day. You are not alone.

Thank you to our Honorary Secretary Seeta Ramsundar for sharing this beautiful reflection in our WSTT WhatsApp group.

Love does not end with loss.
It does not disappear with absence.

Grief may change its shape over time,
but the love remains — steady, sacred, eternal.

And even in the quiet ache of missing them,
there is still life ahead.
There is still purpose.
There is still light waiting for you.

Healing does not mean forgetting.
It means learning to carry love forward
while slowly allowing hope to return.

To every widow walking this journey:
Your love story did not end.
It simply continues in a different way.

Because true love never fades —
and neither does your strength. 🤍

🌸 Know Yourself. Grow Yourself 🌸

At WSTT, we believe that healing and empowerment begin with self-awareness. Taking time to ask yourself the hard, honest, and hopeful questions is not selfish — it’s necessary.

Who am I becoming?
What do I truly want?
What do I need to heal?

When women pause to reflect, we rise with clarity, confidence, and courage. 💜

Today, take a quiet moment for you. Your growth matters. Your peace matters. You matter.
