Welcome to The ReWrite™
Community, Connection, and Hope
After the Loss of a Spouse
Life may have changed in an instant, but your story is not over.
The ReWrite™ is a welcoming community where men and women who have lost a spouse gather for meaningful conversations, shared meals, encouragement, and authentic connection as they navigate life after loss together.
Whether you join us around a restaurant table in Tulsa or connect through our virtual dinner gatherings, you'll find a place where your grief is understood, your story is honored, and hope is nurtured at your own pace.
This is not about forgetting.
This is not about replacing what was lost.
This is about learning to live forward while carrying love with you.
Together, we share.
Together, we laugh.
Together, we remember.
Together, we heal.
Together, we rewrite the next chapter.
It is a place to belong.
A place to breathe.
A place to heal.
A place to hope.
Because while loss may change your story, it does not have to be the end of it.

Meet Your Leadership Team
Walking with you, faithfully
Dr. Charis M. Rooks
Founder & Executive Director
Dr. Charis M. Rooks founded The ReWrite™ after experiencing the unexpected loss of both her mother in 2023 and her husband, Kent, in 2025. Through her own journey of grief, God birthed a vision to create a Christ-centered ministry where widows and widowers could find hope, healing, biblical encouragement, and authentic community.
She holds a Ph.D. in Christian Leadership with a specialization in Ministry Leadership, an MBA in Leadership, and is a 2026 graduate of Rhema Bible Training College. She serves as a graduate professor and doctoral chair while authoring books, Bible studies, journals, and ministry resources focused on grief, healing, and spiritual growth.
Her passion is helping widows and widowers discover that while grief changes life, it does not end God's purpose.
Pastor Paul E. Collins
Ministry Partner & Director of Pastoral Care
Paul E. Collins began his ministry in 1990 while serving in the United States Army. During that season, he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit while attending a Kenneth Hagin Faith Seminar in Warren, Ohio.
Paul and his late wife, Ruth C. Collins, faithfully served at Fountain of Life in Pittsburgh, ministering as members of the church's Healing Team. He was later ordained through the Greater Works School of Ministry, earned a B.S. in Human Resources from Geneva College, completed an MBA from Waynesburg University, authored There Is Life in the Word, and graduated from Rhema Bible Training College in 2026.
Today, Paul provides pastoral care, biblical encouragement, discipleship, and compassionate support to widowers while serving alongside Dr. Rooks in ministering to both widows and widowers.
Your next chapter is still being written.
