Christina Terry Cassidy became a widow at the young age of 37 on February 23, 2000, after seventeen years of marriage to her husband, Michael. Christina knows well the heart of a widow; the enormous loss that is incurred when a husband leaves this world; the loneliness, the overwhelming burden that comes with the “head of household” role the widow must assume. She brings encouragement and hope to widows suffering through loss.

Christina founded Widow’s Walk in 2009 after recognizing the need for the physical, emotional and spiritual support for widows in their churches and communities. Her new found passion is to help each widow discover her God-given purpose and to embrace the “new normalcy” they must face. Widow’s Walk helps to bridge the gap between widows and their local church; it also facilitates and empowers the church to carry out the Biblical instruction of James 1:27, Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this; to look after orphans and widows in their distress… With the mentoring of widows and churches, Widow’s Walk strives that no widow walks the journey alone.

Christina is remarkably proud of her five children: Paige serves as Director of Fund Development and Community Relations for Widow’s Walk and is married to Doug McLaughlin, they have a beautiful baby girl, Hadley; Ryann is a Pediatric Oncology nurse in Dallas, Texas; Erin is pursuing a career in Esthetics; Drew is an Emergency Medical Technician; pursuing his Paramedic training; Beau is enjoying life as a college student. Christina’s passionate relationship with Jesus, along with the support of her family, friends and gifted professionals, is the true inspiration behind Widow’s Walk. Christina is a native of Colorado and loves living in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains with her bulldog, Tank; she is blessed to worship at Cherry Hills Community Church.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world - James 1:27 (NIV)
