You Don’t Have to Walk This Road Alone
This is a site for those grieving the loss of their spouse who was also their soulmate. A soulmate is someone God has woven into the very fabric of our lives, where love and connection have become soul-deep—part of who we are.
Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt and When Your Soulmate Dies
Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt is a respected author, educator, and internationally recognized authority on grief and mourning. He has authored more than 90 books and grief-support resources, serves as an Associate Clinical Professor in the University of Colorado School of Medicine's Department of Family Medicine, and is the founder and director of the Center for Loss and Life Transition.
His book, When Your Soulmate Dies: A Guide to Healing Through Heroic Mourning, has served as the primary study resource for Soulmate Survivors. His research, writings, and compassionate understanding of the unique grief experienced when a beloved spouse and soulmate dies helped inspire the creation of our support group.
We are grateful for Dr. Wolfelt's contributions to understanding soulmate grief and are pleased to share this special video message from him with visitors to our website.
When My Soulmate Is Gone
I realize what a profound gift I received in this person who built their life around me, and around whom I built mine. Yet now I am floating in this place where I long for a past which has left me and a future where I seek hope.
That is the space where God can use Soulmate Survivors.
We believe that grief is not just endured — it is relationally processed among people who have walked in your shoes. We believe that no matter how painful our losses, life can still be good. Different, but still good, by God’s grace.
We Understand Because We Have Lived It
Soulmate Survivors is a place where those of us in deep grief can find survival tools learned by people who have experienced a grief similar to our own. We understand because we have lived through the pain ourselves.
There Is a Place for You Here
Soulmate Survivors is a group that meets regularly in person in San Antonio, Texas, to walk together through the continuing journey of grief. If you believe this group may be for you, we would love to hear from you. Contact us below to learn about our next meeting, including the date, time, and location. If you live outside the San Antonio area or are unable to attend in person, we will soon offer a way to participate through Zoom, with information and a link available here on our website.
