Welcome to Daughters of Boaz
You don’t have to walk this road alone.
Grief changes the life we thought we would live. It brings questions, memories, loneliness, and moments when simply moving forward feels impossible.
But grief was never meant to be carried in isolation.
Daughters of Boaz was born from my own journey through widowhood and a desire to create a place where women can find understanding, friendship, encouragement, and hope.
Here, we believe that grief has no timetable, that love doesn’t end with loss, and that even in the midst of sorrow, there can still be beauty.
We’re building a sisterhood, one conversation and one friendship at a time.
There’s a place for you here, just as you are.
You are not alone. I am here with you.
Why Daughters of Boaz?
When I came up with the idea of a blog for widows, I knew I wanted to center the concept around the story of Ruth and Naomi. I toyed with names like The Ruth Project or The Naomi Project, but upon research discovered that those were associated with agencies centered around Domestic Violence support. Not wanting to take away from the very important work that those agencies do, I dug further into the story of Ruth. In Ruth 2:8, Boaz addresses Ruth as “my daughter,” generally understood as a warm, protective form of greeting in those days.
Start here
If you’ve found your way here because you’ve lost someone you love, I wish we were meeting under different circumstances.
I know what it’s like to wake up in a world that keeps moving when yours feels like it has stopped.
I don’t have all the answers. I’m still learning some things myself. But I’ve learned that sometimes it helps just to know that someone else understands.
These are a few of my stories. Maybe somewhere in them, you’ll recognize a little of your own.
Grief is something we carry with us. Some days the weight is manageable. Other days, it feels almost impossible to bear.
A reflection on brokenness, healing, and discovering that beauty can still exist in the places where life has left its marks.
When you lose someone you love, the calendar changes. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and all those firsts become milestones you never imagined having to face.
Take your time. Read what speaks to your heart. There’s no hurry here.
Come Sit With Me
Daughters of Boaz is growing into a sisterhood where women can share their experiences, find encouragement, and build meaningful connections.
Our hope is to create intimate gatherings and opportunities for fellowship, because we believe no woman should have to navigate grief feeling invisible or alone.
For now, I’d love to connect with you here, or through Facebook or Instagram. Maybe you have a story you’d like to share. Maybe you have a question. Or maybe you’re not quite ready to talk and that’s okay, too.
You don’t have to have the right words, or any words at all. You don’t even have to know what you’re looking for.
Pull up a chair. There’s room for you at our table.
