My mom went to Heaven on 2/10 of this year and my dad is struggling. We have strong faith in God and Jesus. When my sister died in 1995 my parents and I tried one session of grief therapy and it was very sad and dismal. The hospice people that cared for mom have called him to see if he needs counseling but he doesn’t want to be in a group setting. I think he’ll be okay but should I try to reach out to other widowers? How would I do that?

I'd start with talking to your dad about whether he feels he needs any help. He might not feel comfortable in a support group, and if that's the case you wouldn't need to look for one. Maybe he'd feel better getting involved in a senior center or doing something that helps others. You might even discover that the two of you talking about it is really all he needs.
