Grief changes everything. For Dawn Paterson, the passing of her husband of 32 years, Daryl, on September 1, 2023, was a life-altering moment. At the time, their first grandchild was only eight weeks old, and another was expected just weeks later.
Faced with unimaginable loss, Dawn made a courageous decision: just three months into her own grieving process, she founded The Wise Widow. Her vision was clear—no widow should ever struggle or walk this path alone.
The Heart of The Wise Widow
With a professional background in adult education, Dawn combines practical tools with deep compassion. Her programs include one-on-one connection calls, small group support, workshops, and retreats—all designed to meet widows and widowers wherever they are in their healing journey.
Her philosophy is both simple and profound: healing begins when we are seen, heard, and supported in grief. She understands that grief is not something we “get over,” but something to be honored, lived, and gently transformed into strength and connection.
A Breakthrough with the Brain System
During her conversation with Dr. Louise on the Brain Soul Success Show, Dawn also experienced the Brain System process. As she shared her story, she uncovered the ways grief had been weighing on her emotionally, physically, and energetically. Through the Brain System, she released layers of heaviness, gained peace of mind, and reconnected with her sense of purpose.
This breakthrough not only gave Dawn more clarity for her own healing journey but also deepened her commitment to guiding other widows and widowers with compassion, strength, and light.
We cleared energy on two properties, and her son’s house sold for $10,000 MORE! We used the BRAIN System TM to clear the property they wanted, and that came through with a twist! An even better property came up for less investment. YES! The Power of the BRAIN System!
A Mission with Legacy
Residing in Alberta, Canada, Dawn envisions The Wise Widow as a household name in spousal grief support. Her long-term goal is to provide widows and widowers everywhere with a safe place of dignity, understanding, and hope.
