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

Today, on Mother’s Day, we share the heartfelt testimony of our member Jameela on what this day means to her since the death of her husband.

Her words reflect a reality many widowed mothers and fathers quietly live every day — loving their children while carrying the grief of the partner they lost. For many, Mother’s Day is not only a celebration, but also a reminder of the life and family they once shared together.

There are many parents today doing their very best to wear two hats.
Comforting.
Providing.
Protecting.
Disciplining.
Showing up for their children while grieving quietly behind the scenes.

Some are spending today without anyone to celebrate them.
Some still have meals to cook, laundry to do, children to care for, and responsibilities that do not pause for grief.

Yet through heartbreak and exhaustion, they continue loving their children with everything they have.

Today, we honour not only mothers, but also the widowed fathers doing the work of both parents after the loss of their wives.

To every widowed mother and father navigating today with strength, love, and courage — we see you, we honour you, and we stand beside you💙🦋

A beautiful reminder today that motherhood comes in many forms 💐

To all mothers — biological, adoptive, single mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, grieving mothers, angel moms, fur moms and mother figures — we celebrate your love, strength, sacrifice, and resilience today.

Mother’s Day can bring many emotions. For some it is joy and celebration, while for others it is remembrance, longing, and reflection. No matter where your heart is today, please know that you are seen, appreciated, and deeply valued.

May every mother and every nurturing soul feel loved, celebrated, and cherished today and always. 💙🦋

Today we celebrate the incredible strength, love, sacrifice, and resilience of mothers everywhere 💐

To all the amazing mothers in our WSTT family, and to the fathers who lovingly carry both roles, we honour you today and always. We also hold close in our hearts those who are missing their moms, their children, their fur babies, and loved ones who are no longer physically here. Mother’s Day can bring both smiles and tears, love and longing, cherished memories and quiet moments of reflection.

Please know that whatever emotions you may be feeling today, you are not alone.

May your day be filled with peace, comfort, love, beautiful memories, and gentle reminders of how deeply appreciated and loved you are. 💙🦋

The day before Mother’s Day can bring many emotions. 💙

For some, tomorrow will be filled with joy, laughter, flowers, and family gatherings. For others, it may bring quiet moments of reflection, memories of loved ones, and an ache that words cannot fully explain.

At Widow Support Trinidad and Tobago, we recognise that Mother’s Day is not always easy — especially for widows carrying grief while continuing to care for their families, and for our angel moms whose children now live forever in their hearts.

To our angel moms, please know this:
Your motherhood matters.
Your love matters.
Your children are remembered with love today and always. 🦋

And to every member of our WSTT family who may be struggling emotionally this weekend, be gentle with yourself. There is no right or wrong way to move through Mother’s Day. Whether you choose to celebrate, reflect, cry, smile, or simply rest, your feelings are valid.

Tomorrow, may we all remember to extend kindness not only to others, but also to ourselves.

“We heal and grieve together.” 💙

Mother’s Day can feel different when grief lives in your heart.

For some, it is flowers, lunches, and celebration.
For others, it is surviving the silence left behind by the person who once made the day feel complete.

The “Mother’s Day blues” are real. A song, a memory, a family photo, or even seeing others celebrate can reopen emotions we try so hard to manage. And sometimes, the hardest part is pretending we are okay when our hearts are quietly grieving.

To every widow and grieving mother in our community — give yourself permission to feel whatever comes this weekend. You do not have to force happiness. You do not have to explain your sadness. Healing and grief often exist side by side.

Maybe this Mother’s Day, instead of focusing on what is missing, we focus on love that still remains:
💙 the memories shared
💙 the children raised
💙 the strength you continue to carry
💙 the support we give each other

At Widow Support Trinidad and Tobago, we want every member to know that even on the difficult days, you are seen, valued, and never alone.

Mother’s Day can be especially painful for those carrying grief. 🌸💔

For many widows, mothers, daughters and grieving hearts, this season brings what is often called the “Mother’s Day blues” — a quiet sadness for the person who is missing from the table, the hugs we no longer receive, the memories we hold onto, and the future moments we never got to share.

Grief is not only about losing someone we love. Sometimes it is also grieving the time we thought we would still have together.

If Mother’s Day feels heavy for you this year, please know your feelings are valid. Be gentle with yourself. Rest if you need to. Cry if you need to. Remember your loved one in whatever way brings you comfort. 🦋

From all of us at Widow Support Trinidad and Tobago (WSTT), we are holding space for every grieving mother, widow, daughter and family navigating this difficult season. You are not alone.

There are moments in grief that the world never sees.

Not the funeral.
Not the condolences.
Not the days everyone checks in.

But the quiet anniversaries.

The day your life changed forever.
The last normal moment you didn’t know was the last.
The last time you heard their voice.

These are the dates we carry… silently.

At Widow Support Trinidad and Tobago (WSTT), we understand that grief doesn’t follow a calendar others can see. It lives in the heart, in the memories, and in the moments that return without warning.

If today is one of those days for you, please know this:

💙 You are not alone.
💙 Your grief is valid.
💙 We remember with you.

We heal and grieve together.

Today, we send love, strength and prayers to all students sitting their CSEC and CAPE examinations. 💙

This is a moment you have been preparing for—through long nights, early mornings, and quiet sacrifices. Trust in what you have learned and believe in yourself.

May God grant you clarity of mind, calmness of spirit, and the confidence to do your very best. Even when you feel nervous, remember that you are capable, you are prepared, and you are never alone.

Walk into each exam room with faith over fear. 🙏

Wishing every student success, peace, and excellent results.

Sunday Reflections 🌿

Some days, the silence feels heavier.
The memories come a little stronger.
And the longing… a little deeper.

Grief has a way of reminding us just how deeply we loved. It shows up in quiet moments, in familiar places, in the things left unsaid. But even in that ache, there is something powerful — love that never left.

Today, take a moment to honour that love.
Speak their name.
Hold on to a memory.
Allow yourself to feel… without rushing the process.

You are not alone in this journey. Here, we carry each other.

Heaven may feel far, but love remains close. 💙

There are moments when the world feels quiet… not because we have nothing to say, but because the one we long to speak to is no longer here.

Grief doesn’t always come with loud tears. Sometimes it sits softly beside us—in silence, in memories, in the spaces no one else can fill.

If today feels like one of those quiet days, please know you are not alone. Here, your silence is understood. Your love is honoured. And your memories are safe.

At Widow Support Trinidad and Tobago, we hold space for every moment—spoken or unspoken.

💙We heal and grieve together.
