Testimonials

“I want to learn from widow speakers who have their own widowhood story of grief to growth who have now become mentors, leaders and advocates for widows' causes. ”

Laura

“I'm a completely different person after losing my partner. I'm bummed I have to rebuild my life, but I want to do it well! One that is focused on finding purpose and meaning.”

Jan

“Becoming a young widow felt very out of order and isolating. I want to find my tribe of strong, wise and empowered women to guide me towards what the future holds. Finding role models at this event gave me hope that my life has a future and a new beginning. I am open to that now. ”

Becky

“I felt completely lost and isolated until I joined the Modern Widows Club virtual event. Hearing other widows share their stories of resilience changed everything—I realized I wasn't alone and that there was hope for a meaningful life after loss. The speakers gave me practical tools I still use, and the community connections became lifelines. For the first time in months, I believed I could not only survive this, but thrive again.”

Nancy

“I am so glad I found this organization. Such a blessing the support from so many women and leaders who truly know what we are all going through. ”

Carmen

“This is exactly what widows need—support from others who truly understand this indescribable, traumatic loss. No one can prepare you for the overwhelming emotions and challenges that follow. Only someone who's walked this path can understand the loneliness and everything that comes with becoming widowed. This program gets it.”
