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

💚 World Mental Health Day – October 10th🦋

Thank you, Terri Ann, for sharing this beautiful and timely reminder with us. 💚

To our WSTT family, please remember that it is okay not to be okay. Grief can affect our emotional and mental well-being in ways that others may not always see. Be gentle with yourselves, give yourselves permission to rest, and remember that you do not have to be strong every single day.

You are worthy of love, support and happiness. You matter, and you do not have to face every difficult moment alone. 💚🦋

Today, let us turn these words into action. 💜
Reach out to a WSTT sister or brother, check in on someone who has been quiet, offer a listening ear, or simply send a message to let someone know they are not forgotten. Sometimes, a small act of kindness can make a greater difference than we realise.

If you are struggling, please do not feel that you have to suffer in silence. Reach out to someone you trust, speak to a fellow WSTT member, or seek professional support when you need it. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it is an act of courage. And if someone opens up to you, listen with compassion, without judgment or pressure to make their pain disappear.

Let us make WSTT a community where we do more than say we care — let us show it through our words, our actions and the way we stand beside one another. No one should have to navigate grief or emotional struggles feeling unseen, unheard or alone. 💚

Check in. Listen. Reach out. Be present. You never know how much your kindness may mean to someone.

💜 We heal and grieve together.

💜 October is Child Death Awareness Month. 🕊️🌹

This month, we remember the precious children whose lives ended far too soon and hold close the parents and families who continue to live with the pain of their loss.

We especially remember our Angel Moms within the WSTT family. 💜 We recognise the heartbreak they carry and the enduring love they have for the children who will forever remain part of them.

To our Angel Moms, we see you. We honour your children, their memories and the love you continue to carry. You do not have to hide your pain or explain your grief. Your motherhood remains, your children are remembered, and you have a community that cares.

Let us offer compassion, understanding and a safe space for every parent grieving a child. May no parent feel that their child has been forgotten or that their grief must be carried alone.

🕊️ Gone from our arms, forever in our hearts. 💜

The funeral may be over, the visitors may have gone home, and life around us may have returned to normal. But for those grieving, the loss continues long after the final goodbye. 🕊️

Grief is not a sign that we are stuck in the past. It is part of learning to live in a world that has changed forever. We carry the memories, the love, the traditions, and the little pieces of our loved ones that remain woven into who we are.

And we learn, in our own time, to make room for both the pain of their absence and the beauty of having loved them.

To every widow and widower finding their way through life after loss, remember that there is no deadline for grief, and no right way to carry love that has nowhere familiar to go.

Be gentle with yourself. Your journey is your own, and you do not have to walk it alone. 💜

Not every room is a safe place to tell the truth about how we are feeling.

Sometimes we keep going because the world expects us to. We answer the questions, participate in the conversations and carry on with what needs to be done.

But grief can be present even when it is invisible.

This is why community matters. To have people who understand that a smile doesn't always mean happiness, that silence doesn't always mean peace, and that “I'm okay” isn't always the whole story.

At WSTT, we believe there should be spaces where you don't have to explain your grief or hide it. Spaces where you can simply be.

Because sometimes what we need most isn't advice or answers — just someone who understands. 🕊️💜

We Heal and Grieve Together.

Some of the scars we carry are because our parents didn’t teach us about boundaries with other adults.

We were taught to respect our elders, but not always taught that we could say “no,” “that’s not okay,” or “please don’t treat me that way.”

Sometimes, we’re healing from lessons we were never taught.
