Introducing Modern Widows Club® The Movement for Widow Care (MWC)

We've discovered that with the effective support, widows don't just survive suffering—they're transfigured by it. Tens of thousands have walked this path from hope to healing to leadership, revolutionizing widow care for generations to come.

Voices of Our Wisters® (Widow + Sisters)

“When I joined Modern Widows Club, I was sad, confused, and unsure of how to navigate widowhood. The PIVOT program helped me grow, laugh again, and appreciate everything and everyone around me. Today, I feel calmer, more at peace, and deeply grateful for the light you’ve brought into my life.”


- Sue R., 2025 PIVOT Program Alumni

“MWC has provided me a safe and welcoming place to share my story and to hear the inspiring and heartfelt stories of others. I have received far more than I could ever repay and will always be grateful for the support and compassion that my fellow Wisters have so generously given.”


- Lynne M., MWC Community Wister

  • "I finally found a group that understood me and...my situation."

    As a widow survivor of suicide, I found very few options for support. When I discovered Modern Widows Club at 10 months out, I was a basket case, but I finally found a group that understood me and the uniqueness of my situation.

    - Lisa L., Survivors of Suicide Community Advocate

  • "As fellow widows, they understand the immense pain of my loss."

    MWC has given me the ability to connect with ladies who get it. As fellow widows, they understand the immense pain of my loss. At the same time, they give me hope as I move forward in life without my husband.

    - Debbie M., MWC Community Wister

  • "I honestly don't know what I would have done without [MWC]."

    Modern Widows Club means so much to me. To me, it's a lifesaver. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it. I didn’t realize how hard it would be to lose your spouse. You really don’t know what it’s like until you experience it.

    - Susan C., MWC Community Wister

  • "My heart is lighter."

    I'm a different person now, I used to have low self-esteem, but now, my heart is lighter and my bubbly self is back. Thank you.

  • “I admire Carolyn Moor so much for her advocacy."

    I’m starting to ‘get it.’ It’s a gross oversight that our governments give so little support to women in life-changing situations.
