War Widow Creates Nonprofit Group to Help Her Peers
Taryn Davis, whose husband was a soldier who died in Iraq last year, has created a documentary film and a nonprofit group with resources for other war widows, reports The New York Times.
Her organization, the American Widow Project, provides widows with support groups and practical information, such as how to plan a funeral.
Ms. Davis documented the experiences of other war widows across the country last year in a movie and plans to distribute the documentary to new war widows and widowers within the first two weeks of receiving the news of their spouse’s death.
