More about Kathryn Monaco Douglas: Kathryn Monaco Douglas lost her husband at 42 years old suddenly. Her children were 18,14, and 11 years old. During her grief she was frustrated by the lack of understanding of spousal loss and what was needed. Six years after her loss she went back to help other young widows and widowers with early loss. Her groups have grown exponentially over the 17 years she has been facilitating. She has inspired and trained over 30 widows and widowers to come back and are now facilitating in many of her groups. She is known for taking people in the early weeks of grief and staying connected. The groups are for ages 21 to 65 years of age, held in person in Dix Hills, Long Beach, and virtually. The groups run for 8 weeks and three seasons a year ( Fall, Winter, and Spring) with an ongoing social group, a private facebook group, and special events with guest speakers on topics related to grief. The groups are non- denominational with no fees. She was on Channel Twelve News as a person on Long Island who’s making a difference.
