“You have saved my life in ways you may never fully realise, and I just want to thank you for following that inner calling to work with widows. There is such an abundance of joy, hope and understanding within this group, and it truly filled my soul at a time when I needed it most.”

Welcome to Awakening Hope

This FREE, transformative, five day immersive and nurturing experience has been designed specifically for widows and surviving partners who are navigating the turbulent and uncharted waters of grief.

If you're feeling sad, lost, and alone after the loss of your loved one, this unique five day event is here to offer you solace, support, and the promise of a brighter future.

During the days, we will gather together in a compassionate and understanding virtual community for 30 - 40 minutes each day via Zoom.

You will be guided by me, Karen Sutton, the UK's leading Widow Coach, and together we will explore various aspects of grief, whilst also providing you with the tools and insights to navigate the complex emotions that accompany loss.

Join Karen for a completely FREE standalone experience, where through live Zoom sessions you’ll find connection, understanding, and support alongside others navigating similar experiences.

It’s a gentle opportunity to explore what healing, hope, and community can look like for you.

“The programme was truly amazing. For the first time, I was talking with women who genuinely understood, and I didn’t have to try and explain widowhood. I never imagined that in such a short space of time, and without ever meeting face to face, I could feel so safe, secure and comfortable sharing so openly. The connection I felt with each person involved was incredibly special.”

You Are Invited

14th - 18th SEPTEMBER 2026

I have created this FREE event so you can experience a sneak preview of what it’s like to be in my eight-month group coaching programme, Finding Hope In Widowhood.

Within Finding Hope In Widowhood there are weekly calls, a supportive community, and twelve modules covering many different topics.

Over our time together in Awakening Hope, I will be sharing some of the key principles we cover within the larger programme to enable you to feel calmer, more confident and most importantly seen, heard and understood, but also to understand how life changing eight months together could be.

Every year I bring together a community of women who have experienced the unimaginable and we come together for support, connection and inspiration.

Being part of a group of brave and courageous souls, who all get it, is incredibly powerful and I want to give you the opportunity to experience this power and see if this is the right thing for you in your journey right now.

Awakening Hope is going to be a wonderful few days together and if you would like support beyond this free event then you know Finding Hope In Widowhood is waiting for you with open arms, with the potential to quite literally change your life.

If you decide this isn’t for you then I know you will gain so much from spending the days together and I will wish you well as you move forward on your own journey.

Wherever you are in the world, wherever you are in your journey you are welcome to come and join us for what promises to be an incredible week together.

I will be going through the trainings Live on Zoom. Don’t worry if you can’t make it live the recordings will be available for you to catch up on.

We will all connect and support each other in our private Facebook group too.

“Working with Karen has been the best decision I’ve made since my husband died. I feel more confident and stronger than I ever could have imagined. I carry my grief with me in a much more joyful and manageable way now, and I’m making better decisions because of the tools I’ve learnt through the incredible modules Karen has created. I’m actually happy I’m only halfway through the programme, because I never want it to end!”

Here Is What We Will Be Covering Together

Over our time together, we’ll gently explore some of the most important emotional and practical parts of navigating grief helping you feel more supported, more understood and more hopeful about the future.

DAY 1

Facing Our Feelings

Within grief, we experience a lot of feelings and emotions which leave us feeling lost, alone and very afraid.

I want to explore these feelings with you, helping you understand your grief better and how you can find more peace in your heart.

I will share with you my unique resilience framework to help you maintain a positive mindset after the loss of a life partner.

I'll give you easy-to-action tips, coping strategies and simple mindset shifts to support you every day.

DAY 2

Cultivating Self-Compassion

Let's talk about self-kindness and its vital role in your grieving journey.

I will help you understand how some small, simple changes can have a hugely positive impact on your mental, physical and emotional well-being, softening your grieving journey.

Together, we'll explore practical ways to nurture yourself with greater compassion, helping you navigate each day with more gentleness and grace.

You'll leave with simple, realistic tools to support your well-being, even on the most difficult days.

DAY 3

Rediscovering You

When we lose a life partner, we don’t know who we are, where we fit or what we want anymore.

I will help you discover who you are at your core, enabling you to gain clarity and make decisions in this new season of your life with confidence.

Together, we’ll begin to explore what matters to you now and gently reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have felt lost within your grief.

This is about creating space for your needs, your identity and your future, without pressure to have everything figured out.

DAY 4

How To Rise

I will share with you my unique resilience framework to help you maintain a positive mindset after the loss of a life partner.

You'll receive tips, tools and strategies to support you beyond this five-day event.

Together, we'll explore practical ways to build resilience, helping you face each day with greater confidence and hope.

These simple strategies are designed to support you long after the event, giving you tools you can return to whenever you need them.

DAY 5

Today Is All About You

This day is dedicated entirely to you and your journey.

We'll start with a brief recap of the incredible week we've shared, highlighting the key insights and moments that have inspired us all.

You'll then have a unique opportunity to connect with women who are already part of the Finding Hope In Widowhood community.

Listen to their powerful stories and discover firsthand how embracing this programme has transformed their lives, offering hope, strength and a renewed sense of purpose.

This day could be the turning point you've been seeking, opening the door to a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Join us and see how Finding Hope In Widowhood can truly change your life.

These days will take you from feeling alone and misunderstood to finding a place where you feel like you truly belong.

You will discover a safe and supportive space where your grief can be witnessed with no judgement or expectation.

You will be surrounded by others who understand this journey and relate to so much of what you are experiencing too.

There is so much strength in coming together and I would love for you to be part of this incredible FREE event, so you too can experience the magic that happens when we create these powerful communities.
