Following the loss of her husband in January, 2015, Bobbi Mason quickly realized the lack of resources available to young widows and felt an urgency to become an ambassador to young widows and those who have suffered traumatic loss. In February, 2018, she launched Widow Thrive and the 501(c)(3) non-profit, Widow’s Wish Foundation. Through Widow’s Wish Foundation and her online Facebook “Widow Thrive” Community, Bobbi assists and supports young widows with the enormous grief “dynamics” that they face, specifically in their first year of loss. Widow’s Wish Foundation supplies financial assistance in the form of meals, gift cards for gas, groceries; hosting fundraising events for families; and a Christmas gifting program. Bobbi also organizes a Houston Widows & Widowers meetup group that encourages local widows/widowers to connect and share their grieving journeys with one another in a casual, fun atmosphere, at various venues once a month.
