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.
