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 seasons of grief are heavier than others.
The *first birthday.
The *first wedding anniversary.
The *first holiday.
The *first death anniversary.

These moments can reopen the ache of missing the one who felt like home.

If this year holds your first special occasions without your spouse, please know this:
Nothing is wrong with you for feeling the way you do.
Tears, silence, memories, even moments of numbness—all of it belongs.

Be gentle with your heart.
Say their name.
Honor the love you shared.
Rest when you need to.
And remember—you are not walking this road alone.

To every widow or widower standing in a “first” today, this week, this year:
We see you. We hold space for you.
And we are sending you love, strength, and quiet comfort. 🤍

Saturday Smiles

Even in hard seasons, we’re allowed to laugh. Today’s post is just for fun 💛 Because joy doesn’t cancel grief — it coexists with it.

And yes… why they keep moving things in the grocery like we training for Olympics? 😅
And extra stops on the way home? Nah… I already reach 😂

Happy Saturday, fam 🤍

Some years don’t feel like fresh beginnings. They feel like crossings we never asked to make.

For those grieving, a new year isn’t just a new chapter —
it’s another year our loved one will never step into with us.

If this season feels heavy, if you’re moving forward while carrying loss, know this:
you are not broken, weak, or behind.
You are loving someone who still matters.

Move at your own pace.
Grief has no calendar. 🤍

06/01/2026

One day, without knowing it, we take the last photo.
The last smile. The last hug. The last moment side by side.

Grief teaches us what truly matters — not how we looked, but that we were there. That love was shared. That memories were made. 🤍

To every widow reading this: if today feels heavy, know you are not alone. Your memories matter. Your love still speaks. And your story is held here, with us.

Take the photos. Cherish the moments. Hold your people close — and when loss comes, hold yourself with grace.

We walk this journey together. 🤍

She has no idea… and yet, she keeps showing up. 🤍

At Widow Support TT, we see this woman every day — the one who has endured silent battles, carried grief quietly, and still chose to keep going. Strength doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like getting out of bed, asking for help, or daring to believe that joy is still possible.

This is a reminder to every widow in our community: you are becoming. You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to grow, to dream again, and to build a life with intention and courage — at your own pace.

You are not alone on this journey. We are here, walking with you. 💙

Together, we are building a community of compassion, strength, and hope. If you would like to join us, volunteer, or support our work, please DM us or email us at widowtt@gmail.com.

Happy New Year from Widow Support TT 🤍✨

As we step into a new year, we know that for many widows this season carries both hope and heartache. New beginnings don’t mean forgetting— they mean learning how to carry love, memories, and strength forward.

May this year bring gentle healing, quiet courage, and moments of peace that meet you exactly where you are. May your home feel safe, your heart feel supported, and your journey remind you that you are not walking alone.

To every widow in our community: we see you, we honour your story, and we hold space for you—today and always. 💫🕊️

As 2025 comes to a close, we hold space for quiet prayers 🤍
For the widows who have carried grief with courage.
For hearts that have felt heavy, lonely, or weary.
For those still finding their footing after loss.

May healing meet you where you are.
May strength return in gentle ways.
May hope rise again, even if slowly.
And may you always know—you are not alone.

From all of us at Widow Support TT we send love, light, and peace into the year ahead. 🕊️

Some days, smiling feels impossible.
Some days, just getting through feels like more than enough.

This season can be especially heavy for us widows — when the absence is louder, the memories are closer, and the ache feels deeper. Losing the person you planned forever with changes everything. Life is never the same.

But your grief does not mean the end of you.
Your love did not end with their passing.
Their memory lives on — as your strength, your light, your reason to keep going, even on the hardest days.

If today all you can do is breathe, that is enough.
If today you manage a small smile, know it is not a betrayal — it is love continuing in another form.
You are allowed to grieve and live. To miss them and still move forward.

To every widow walking this path: you are not alone. We see you. We hold space for you. And we walk with you, one day at a time. 🤍🕯️

Merry Christmas from WSTT 🤍✨

Today may feel tender, quiet, heavy — or a mix of everything. Christmas looks different now, and that’s okay. There is no expectation to be joyful, strong, or “okay.” Just being here is enough.

We are grateful for every member of this community — for the honesty shared, the photos from near and far, the stories of how you’re spending the day, and the courage it takes to show up during a season that can hurt deeply. Your presence reminds us that even in loss, love still connects us.

Whether you’re holding onto familiar traditions, reshaping them, or creating new ones altogether, you are honouring both your past and your healing. Light still finds us — through shared memories, quiet moments, and the compassion we offer one another.

From all of us at WSTT, may today bring gentle peace, comfort in small moments, and the reassurance that you are not alone. We walk this journey together 🤍🕯️

Christmas Eve can feel especially heavy for widows. When the person you planned forever with is missing, grief can make us question God—His timing, His purpose, His plan.

Today, at Widow Support TT, we sit with both faith and heartbreak. With questions that don’t yet have answers. With prayers that feel quiet. And with the gentle hope that even in our asking, we are still held.

Grief does not mean a lack of faith. Questioning does not mean God has left us. It simply means love remains—and love always leaves an ache.

To every widow missing her other half this Christmas Eve: you are seen, you are supported, and you are not alone. 🤍🕯️

Our community holds space for you today.

This weekend, Widow Support TT brought joy to widows, their children and other needy families—distributing toys and hampers to those who need it most. 🎁✨

Seeing little faces light up and mothers breathe a bit easier reminded us why this work matters.

Thank you to every donor and volunteer who turned compassion into action. To every widow we serve—your courage inspires us every day.
