In the worst moment of their lives, seven men found themselves alone and afraid. Their wives had died of cancer and they were raising children as single parents and negotiating the complicated path of grief. They didn't think of themselves as "support group" kind of guys until two doctors stepped in and organised monthly meetings.
United by tragedy, the widowers leaned on and learned from each other.
