Empowering Widows: Advocacy, Empathy, and Support with Carolyn Moor

In this episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, host Stacy Francis welcomes Carolyn Moor, the founder of the nonprofit organization Modern Widows Club. Recognized internationally for her impactful TED Talk on supporting those experiencing grief, as well as her appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Carolyn has become a leading advocate empowering women in widowhood to transform their pain into strength.

It’s critical to have support while you’re navigating grief and widowhood. 

Widows experience profound loneliness, and need a space where they can discuss their lost loved ones openly.

Stacy and Carolyn discuss the double loss experienced by widows—the loss of a partner and the loss of their envisioned future together. Carolyn reflects on her own experience of losing her husband and the immense emotional and psychological impact this type of loss can have on your identity and sense of purpose.

Carolyn shares the origins of Modern Widows Club, which began as a simple idea to provide a space for widows of all ages and backgrounds to share their experiences without judgment. 

Wisdom emerges from the unique experience of widowhood. Widows possess insights born from singlehood, marriage, divorce, and widowhood, leading to a reservoir of knowledge that can drive advocacy, change, and personal growth.

Through listening to thousands of widows, Carolyn discovered common patterns and issues that widows face, such as financial instability, disinheritance, government neglect, and social exclusion. She realized the need to advocate for widows' rights and raise awareness about their challenges.

Everyone can play a role in supporting widows, whether they have personal experience or not.
