Founder’s Story

From a single widowed woman's living room to a groundbreaking movement

Modern Widows Club has evolved into a revolutionary platform designed to support and empower widows in today’s world. What started as a simple initiative of compassion has grown into a dynamic network offering innovative resources, inspiring community connections, and transformative e-courses tailored to the unique needs of modern widows (modern meaning where you are now).

From Widowhood to Leadership: Embracing the Role of Mentor

Modern Widows Club began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a supportive community for widows who felt isolated and alone in their grief. Founded by Carolyn Moor in 2011 after the tragic loss of her husband, the club started as a small gathering in her living room.

Carolyn quickly realized that widows needed more than just a place to share their stories—they needed a network of understanding, inspiration, and empowerment. What began as a local support group has since grown into a global movement, connecting widows from all walks of life who are determined to rebuild their lives and thrive after loss.

To Empowering Widows and Shaping the Future

Over the years, Modern Widows Club has evolved into an organization dedicated to providing resources, education, and advocacy for widows worldwide. With a focus on fostering resilience, personal growth, and community, the club offers a range of programs, including local and virtual support groups, educational webinars, and wellness initiatives.

Through these efforts, Modern Widows Club has become a beacon of hope and strength for widows everywhere, helping them not only survive but also find purpose and joy in the next chapter of their lives.
