Parenting Support Club

The Modern Widows Club Parenting Support Club is a virtual volunteer-led community designed specifically to support widowed parenting as they navigate the unique challenges of parenting after loss. It serves parents with children of all ages, from infancy through young adulthood and is to supplement the benefits of local and other virtual communities.

In a nutshell, the Parenting Support Club cares for widowed parents so that they can better care for their children.

Research has identified specific factors that help grieving families adapt and remain close after the death of a parent. The MWC Parenting Support Club shares these insights and provides practical tips on incorporating them into family life. Members discuss strategies for addressing children’s grief, bereaved parenting tactics, fostering strong family bonds, effective discipline and essential role of self-care. Additionally, the group encourages peer connections and allows members to share personal experiences and parenting advice in widowhood.

Understanding the demands and unpredictable schedules of widowed parents, the MWC Parenting Support Club operates primarily through a private Facebook group and a monthly newsletter.

In addition, it offers Zoom calls, family travel opportunities and other special events such as book discussions, a bereaved parenting skills program and webinars.
