They have planned a series of Pop Up Retreats this summer for widows and widowers in the Boise, Idaho area. While these events are not "support groups" they ARE opportunities to visit, connect and support each other while participating in some type of outdoor activity. This allows participants to keep a 6 foot distance and practice safe guidelines from health officials.
