In this raw and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with my client Janet Lea who shares her experience of grief after losing her wife of 43 years. Janet's perspective is fresh—she's approaching the one-year mark since Mary Lou's passing—and her insights are both heartbreaking and illuminating. Join us this week as Janet lets us in on the realities of grief—from the unexpected ways it manifests physically to the well-intentioned but unhelpful things people say. Whether you're newly widowed or supporting someone who is, Janet's story offers valuable insights about navigating loss, asking for help, and finding your way forward without a roadmap.

Modern Widows Club® The Movement for Widow Care (MWC) Founder Carolyn Moor interviews the MWC Parenting Club Facilitator Michelle Walker and discusses the mission of this virtual resource for parentally bereaved families. The mission of the MWC Parenting Support Club is simple: to support you as awidowed parent so you can take the best possible care of your grieving children. We share information and resources that address the following areas, all of which have been identified by research as important, positive influences on grieving families: +Understanding & Supporting Children's Grief +Strengthening Family Bonds & Communication +Parent Self-Care: Its Importance & Its Many Forms +Effective Positive or Authoratative Discipline Tactics Michelle's Story: Michelle received the devastating news that her husband of 11 years, Mike, had been killed by a reckless driver. She was 40 years old, left to raise their heartbroken 7 and 9 year old daughters, who adored their tall, funny daddy. With the love of family and friends, she navigated the lengthy process of rebuilding her family life while also supporting her children's grief and processing her own. Once her children were grown, she wanted to "pay it forward" by supporting other families who had suffered the death of a parent. To complement her 18+ years as a widowed parent, she obtained a Master of Science in Family & Human Development from Arizona State University. Through research during this program, she discovered Modern Widows Club® and knew she had found just the place to support all widows, including those with children. She is grateful for the opportunity to serve and encourage all widowed parents in her role as MWC Parenting Support Club Facilitator since 2024.

In honor of Financial Literacy Month, we're revisiting one of our most powerful episodes of Financially Ever After: Widowhood, a conversation that underscores why financial knowledge is essential, especially during life's most difficult transitions. You'll hear from Kathy Gleason, a widow, author, and host of the podcast As I Live and Grieve. Kathy shares her deeply personal journey of navigating grief and the overwhelming financial aftermath that followed the loss of her husband. This episode is a powerful call for women to not just be emotionally prepared, but financially informed. Are you struggling to cope with the loss of a spouse and the financial challenges that come with it? In this episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, host Stacy Francis speaks with Kathy Gleason, an author and grief support expert with a deep understanding of the struggles that come with losing a spouse. Kathy is also co-host of the As I Live and Grieve podcast. Kathy details her personal journey of loss, including the challenges of managing the paperwork and red tape that come with it. She also shares valuable insights and practical advice on how to navigate the financial challenges of widowhood. Losing a spouse is a complex and devastating loss that brings many unique challenges, including the loss of future plans and the added responsibility of managing all the paperwork and red tape that come with it. It's important to surround yourself with supportive people who understand what you're going through and can offer emotional and practical support. If you are not the partner who manages the finances, it's important to make yourself aware of what accounts and assets you have in case you need to take over in the future. It's common for married couples to not make long-term financial decisions together, but this can leave one partner at a disadvantage if they need to take over after a spouse's passing. Prioritizing tasks and taking care of practical matters can help you begin to work on yourself and heal after a loss.

From Amy:I always knew that I loved writing. But I'm not sure I understood—until I went through a major transition, and not by my own choice—that writing is healing. At first it's writing just for me, raw and unwieldy and terrifying, but I always have the sense that this writing is something that, when I'm ready, is meant to be shared. Because stories tell us we're not alone. And they help people find us so that we can be there for each other.Meanwhile, I let myself stay in that first stage of book writing as long as I need to, a stage I call ALLOWING. Allowing it all to be whatever it is. And that allowing makes room for the most powerful stories come through. One of the biggest compliments I ever receive as a writer, and how I know my words have landed, is when people feel inexplicably drawn to tell me THEIR stories. It comes from the deepest parts of them, as a welcome release. I can feel it. Because I've processed my hard things, I'm able to listen to theirs and that helps.And even if we never meet at all, these readers and I, stories of healing help people. Yes, we write for ourselves first, but it doesn't stop there. Memoir is not selfish. It's the most generous thing you can do. Does that make sense? Because if you take nothing else away from this episode, it's that you can write your hardest things, yes, the very worst of them, and you can transform them into beautiful writing. So the next question people ask me is: How?How to you get from that very worst moment of heartbreak to a beautiful completed book? Well...I remember when Nikki Kindred Halvorson's husband was killed by a drunk driver in March 2020, because a mutual friend reached out to let me know what had happened. Nikki would need to work with me, this mutual friend said. She didn't know when, but she wanted to let me know. And she was absolutely right. I felt called to work on this project as Nikki's mentor and editor in due time. Eventually, she reached out.After Allowing, you progress into other stages: Composing, Revision, Editing, and now Sharing. That's where I came in.(Do you see the acronym? ACRES? My shorthand for: If you're transforming a landscape, you do it acre by acre.)There was nothing expected or pretty about the loss of John Erik Halvorson—Nikki's longtime best friend and husband—a tragedy compounded by so many things. Such as the old house they were restoring together, all torn apart. A pandemic. And more.But the process of salvaging stories for a beautiful book? (Or several...) There's nothing like it.So if you're wondering how you do that, write a book about your worst nightmare and feel proud of it and even grateful?Nikki pulls back the curtain in this episode. You'll want to listen.Nikki Kindred Halvorson works as a pediatric speech-language pathologist and is active in historical preservation. She realized a lifelong dream in 2014 when she became caretaker of a great old house with her husband, Erik. Widowed in 2020 at age 32, Nikki has continued to rehab her house and has begun building a new life on the foundation of her old one as she heals. She's currently in the process of realizing another lifelong dream of becoming a published author.

How soon is "normal" enough for a widow to start craving intimacy? Is it even possible to have a genuine desire for someone new after the death of a loved one? The simple answer is yes. But unfortunately, widowhood has traditionally been constructed as an asexual period. A widow may look to move forward, but not without the risk of being judged. A widow may crave intimacy from another, but not without feeling guilty. So, how can widows find space in their hearts to be intimate with somebody else and still love and grieve their person? In this episode, we'll discuss sexual desires and the loss of intimacy in widowhood. We'll also go through some practical tips to help you reconnect with your desires and rediscover your sexuality. What You'll Learn: The loss of intimacy after the loss of the loved one Understanding sexual desires in widowhood Insecurity and the thought of being with someone else The tragic traditions of widowhood The guilt of wanting to explore intimacy with someone else Why having your needs met is the key to happiness How to create meaningful connections with those around you Be aware of your feelings and actions during grief Resources: Join my Free Facebook Group ‘Widowed and Rising' https://www.facebook.com/groups/widowedandrising Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/karensuttonwidowcoach Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/karensuttonwidowcoach/ TikTok http://www.tiktok.com/@karensuttonwidowcoach Twitter https://twitter.com/KarenWidow LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/karensuttonwidowcoach/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNgKpAqSpEdQV2zYJIPaHvg My website https://www.karensutton.co.uk/

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! Today we are joined by the founder of the Modern Widows Club, Carolyn Moor, and we are discussing a part of life that affects women worldwide: Widowhood. Millions of women are impacted by the devastating effects of widowhood each year, yet it remains a vastly undiscussed public health issue. In our conversation, she sheds light on the transitional experience of widowhood and the unique challenges widows face - from financial insecurity and social injustices to the arduous emotional and psychological toll. Carolyn also opens up about her own deeply personal journey through grief and identity reconstruction after losing her husband and provides compassionate, practical guidance for how we can better support this vulnerable population. Widowhood is a ticket to poverty for many, and the statistics are staggering - from the alarming gender gap in remarriage rates to the startling fact that only 50% of Americans even have life insurance. This is a crucial conversation about a crisis that demands far greater awareness and action. Healers and Heal-Liners Only 50% of Americans have life insurance as many Americans don't see it as a priority The average age of widows in the country is 59, and globally it's 39. Men remarry 1-3 years after widowhood, and for women, it's 6-7 years. Women want to heal, and men want to re-partner. Widowhood is a detachment from something you choose to attach to.
