Honored to announce that MWC Founder Carolyn Moor will be a Breakout Speaker at the NACG National Alliance for Children's Grief in San Antonio, TX this June— and this one is a long time coming.
Modern Widows Club will have a resource booth and speaking to shine a light on a gap that doesn't get nearly enough attention: the thousands of grieving who walk out of children's centers (mostly moms) each year without a bridge referral to continued support.
When a child's grief program ends, the parent's journey doesn't.
"I know this firsthand. When I left my daughter's grief center New Hope for Kids, as a young widowed mother, I walked into a life maze with no map. Those were harrowing days — full of missteps, private fear, and the very real weight of trying to hold a together alone. Grieving parents need meaningful resources after those first one to two years of structured support come to an end. They deserve a bridge, not a cliff.
I'm proud and energized to be at NACG representing the predominantly civilian widows community — alongside so many incredible organizations committed to helping families build resilient, sustainable lives after loss." - MWC Founder Carolyn Moor
Speaker Topic: Beyond Sympathy: Why Widow Support Must Evolve From Crisis Response to Comprehensive Family Care
Joining her is Dr. Mari Marquez sharing her widow research on post traumatic growth in partnership with MWC and Grand Canyon University.

How has your voice become stronger since loss?
Widowhood changes us.
It deepens us.
It stretches us in ways we never expected.
For many women, grief doesn’t just break us open — it builds something new. Boundaries become clearer. Priorities sharpen. Silence becomes courage.
Advocacy doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like:
• Saying no without guilt
• Asking questions you used to avoid
• Speaking your needs clearly
• Telling your story without shrinking
Where have you grown bold since your loss?
Share in the comments if you feel comfortable. Your growth may inspire another widow to find her voice too.

Widowhood is often treated as a private loss — but it is also a public reality affecting millions of women.
From financial disruption to workplace challenges to mental health disparities, the impact of losing a spouse reaches far beyond grief. Yet widows are frequently underrepresented in policy conversations, community planning, and cultural narratives.
Making widowhood visible is not about reliving pain — it’s about ensuring support, equity, and awareness for women navigating life after loss.
At Modern Widows Club, visibility becomes connection. Connection becomes empowerment. Empowerment becomes change.

After losing a partner, many widows find themselves searching for support, understanding, and a path forward. Modern Widows Club was created to be more than grief support—it’s a community where loss is witnessed, stories are honored, and growth is possible.
Widowhood may change life forever, but it does not define a woman’s future. Through connection, shared experiences, and supportive resources, widows discover that hope, joy, and new beginnings can still exist after loss.
Every day, widows around the world are rising, rebuilding, and empowering one another through community.

On this International Women’s Day, we honor the strength of women everywhere—and we hold special space for the women who have had to rebuild their lives after loss.
Widowhood is not the end of a woman’s story. It is a chapter that reveals courage most people will never fully understand. Widows wake up each day carrying love, grief, responsibility, and resilience all at once—and still find a way to move forward.
To every widow: your strength is quiet but powerful. Your healing is courageous. Your life still holds purpose, joy, and possibility.
Today we celebrate women who rise, rebuild, and redefine their lives on their own terms. You are not alone, and your story matters.
✨ If you’re walking the path of widowhood, we invite you to find connection, hope, and sisterhood through the Modern Widows Club membership community.
Winter Park, FL- Modern Widows Club was honored to be the support charity at Winter Park today! Our group of Founder .magsino and board member Jeanice Young represented and shared our mission with shoppers!
JMcLaughlin donates 10% of store sales to benefit MWC and shoppers donated as well. The conversations were extraordinary and it was so wonderful when someone would come in and know us already and shared such kind words of our work and support in the community!
Earlier they walked in the St. Patty’s Day parade down the Avenue and enjoyed the farmers market afterwards.
We were surprised by getting a visit from Winter Park’s Dog Mayor 🐾who brought a lot of petting and smiles!
Great day of building awareness for MWC and The Movement for Widow Care (MWC) in the town we were founded!

Widowhood is not an ending — it is a becoming.
Loss reshapes you. It refines you. You are not the same woman you were before — you are deeper, wiser, and stronger. Through the ache, you’ve uncovered resilience you didn’t know you carried. Through the heartbreak, you are discovering your power.
This is your rebirth season.
Honor the woman you’re becoming. 🌿
✨ If you're ready to Hope. Heal. Grow. — we invite you to join us.
We invite you to become an official member of Modern Widows Club®️ and connect with a community of women who understand your journey. Access empowering programs, support circles, and meaningful connections designed to help you rise with strength and purpose.
Join the movement. Step into your next chapter with us. We built these resources for you!
Widowhood asks more of us than we ever imagined we could give. The quiet nights. The paperwork. The parenting. The financial shifts. The moments when getting out of bed felt like the bravest thing you did all day.
And yet… you’re still here.
Sometimes we move so quickly into the next responsibility that we forget to honor what we’ve already endured. Healing isn’t just about moving forward — it’s also about recognizing your resilience.
Today, pause and reflect:
✨ What have you survived that once felt impossible?
✨ What strength did you discover in yourself?
✨ What are you quietly proud of?
Share in the comments if you feel comfortable. Your story might remind another widow that she can survive this too.

Like every MWC story, ours starts with the simple act of loving someone.
As a women becomes newly widowed, she steps into the on going process of defining a new (and unwanted) self-identity without her partner. This reality is further heightened when she finds herself in a time-space quandary. For her, time has stood still, for the world at large, it has continued. It does not take long for her self-conscious awareness to reveal that these life circumstances cause a sudden and forever change. This internal and external change causes her to seek and find others by way of ‘re-socialization’, otherwise known as ‘finding her tribe.’
When she joins a new group, she will take on new norms, values and behaviors of that created ‘environment.’ This is why the positive approach we foster at MWC is vitally important in her healing and self actualization process. We meet her right where she’s at. Her first few steps will set the future trajectory for her ‘new me’ life. At MWC, we equally recognize and respect all our differences as an interfaith, multi-generational nonprofit. Our shared values and focus on unconditional love are what makes us stand out and highly effective in building greater communities.
At MWC we are interested in research based analysis, empirical investigations and surveys, conversations about subcultures, sociology, stigma and ‘dependency culture’ studies as well as positive psychology, ethnomethodology, physiologic effects of grief, the gender gap, meaning making, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (8 levels), emotional intelligence, pain to purpose resilience building, metanoia, adrenal fatigue, thanatology, neuroscience, compassion, trust, vulnerability, justice and spirituality.
These assist us in serving both our problem challenge and mission statement from the inside out. We serve a myriad of social needs for widows and we also raise awareness through advocacy to bring understanding.
As one MWC widow said, “I actually had no idea about how life altering becoming a widow was until I found myself becoming one. In one breathe, everything I believed about myself disappeared. I went from being seen as a married woman to being known only as a grieving widow. The impact is indescribable. I needed to find others who understood this and ask a lot of safe and confidential questions”.
Women come into widowhood with different challenges; disadvantages and advantages. They need help in trusting again, reducing fears on every level about a changing world and continual encouragement with re-defining themselves. At MWC, they are able to face their future in a nonjudgmental, tender, compassionate, safe and nurturing space with others who have their highest intention in mind. To do that, we need to challenge boundaries and structures, develop wide-spread community partnerships, raise awareness of vulnerabilities, to give empathy with limitations, and forge a livable path to generate solid, positive changes for these women. Finding role models and positive communities is the catalyst that sparks her transformative journey. Seeing is believing.
We hope to serve as a bridge of understanding, comfort, compassion and positive change between a widow and society at large.
