Widowhood is Chaotic

If Life feels Out Of Control and Heartbroken for you

Welcome to PIVOT. Through my observations of widowhood, I've seen many women grappling with a sense of their lives spiraling out of control on various fronts. Perhaps, the circumstances are shrouded in uncertainty. Yet, there's a resilient hope that you can discover stable footing, alignment, and connections that bestow both serenity and confidence in your thoughts and actions. What's crucial right now are the simple pivots in mindset. Widowhood is inherently chaotic and bewildering, unlike any other experience. When you unearth the incredible strength at your core, you'll feel steadfast and resolute in your choices, ultimately growing from this phase of your life.


I consider it a privilege to share the wisdom I've gleaned over the past few decades, not only from my personal journey but also from guiding thousands of other widows. It's an honor to illuminate your path, allowing you to cherish the love you've given and carry it forward.


Thank you for considering this journey. If you'd like to discuss whether this program is the right fit for you (before December 15th), please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected].

  • "Carolyn is such a calming and reassuring person and such a wonderful asset and friend to help so many ladies through this time. One of my biggest takeaways was knowing where to find the resources to help myself and other widows in my community. I would highly recommend the PIVOT program to widows at any stage. There is so much more life and love to give. Life doesn’t have to stop with the death of our loved one. Let this great organization help guide you through widowhood.”
    – Kelli L., BSN, RN
  • "I loved being a part of the PIVOT program because of the support and developing a relationship that fosters healing from Carolyn and my other group members. The ability to have one-on-one teaching and guidance from someone who knows widows, has a heart for widows and has the knowledge and education to support and make a difference in the lives of widows is incredibly impactful. – Alicia M
  • I would recommend PIVOT to any widow! PIVOT taught me that resiliency is a skill we can learn and develop, not just a trait we possess. Happiness can happen again after loss, and the development of resilient skills is key in this process. PIVOT teaches you the skills you need to develop resiliency! And Carolyn is wonderful with a contagious heart for healing that will undoubtedly inspire your journey through the program!
    – Katie S.
  • “Being involved in PIVOT with Carolyn and MWC gave me the support and resources to find my new self after my husband passed away. I was able to realize that there was a future for me, rather than “What happens now?” – Rose P
  •  It made me understand the importance of taking care of myself physically, mentally and spiritually. This, in turn, enabled me to PIVOT forward into a life with a new sense of self with my “new normal.” – Windy K
  •  I would encourage all Wisters who are trying to move forward with their “new normal” to consider PIVOT. It gave me the confidence and clarity to step into a future that I did not ask for, as we Wisters well know. Thank you, Carolyn and MWC!”
    – Beth P
  • I am pivoting. I am standing in my power, and I know it is because I took the time to do the work inspired by PIVOT. Take the time, use the MWC resources and PIVOT.  
  • P- Plug into Life 
  • I- If You Don't Go, You Will Never Know

    Understanding that widows lead busy lives, we've designed this program with flexibility in mind. All sessions are recorded for your convenience, allowing you to catch up at a time that suits you best. You'll have ongoing access to all the content, so you can revisit it as often as necessary.

  • What knowledge and skills will I acquire during the 6-month PIVOT mentoring program?

    In PIVOT, you will discover the significance of self-care and a holistic approach to navigating the widowhood journey, centered around our seven pillars of healthy widowhood. Our core belief is that when widows receive the support, nurture, respect, and love they deserve, they naturally find the strength to flourish. Drawing from extensive surveys conducted over the years, which have engaged thousands of widows, we've observed that they are in search of hope, healing, personal growth, and the capacity to lead their lives with enhanced confidence. This newfound confidence equips them to make well-informed decisions moving forward and empowers them to uncover purpose and meaning in the wake of loss.
