NORTHBROOK, Ill. – Aug. 29, 2023 – PRLog — Dr. Sherry Schachter, Vice-chair of the National Widowers’ Organization says about the addition, “I am so pleased that AJ joined our Board. He brings new and insightful experiences to us as we move to help bereaved men dealing with raising children after the loss of their spouse. They and their families face many challenges resulting from the profoundly life changing impact of the death of their loved one. AJ’s experience and capabilities will help us address these needs.”
AJ Coleman lost his wife when their daughter was sixteen months old. The experience led AJ to author, “Keep Those Feet Moving” a book with his story of loss and provides his widower’s 8-step guide to coping with grief and thriving against all odds.
About the new position on The National Widowers’ Organization Board of Directors, Mr. Coleman commented, “I am humbled and gracious to join National Widower’s Organization. Although men in grief tend not to share their thoughts and feelings, there is a tremendous opportunity to bridge that gap. As a board member, I look forward to sharing new grief perspectives to help those cope and overcome grief. While loved ones may have physically departed from us, they are always with us, you just have to learn to look for their signs.”
