906. Exploring a Widow's Guide to Thriving w/ Carolyn Moor

Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad. Welcome back to part 2 of my conversation with the visionary behind the Modern Widows Club, and in today’s episode we continue to explore why widowhood should be addressed as a health issue, not just a grief issue - unpacking topics like "broken heart syndrome," the staggering statistic on widows neglecting their own wellbeing, and the physical and emotional tolls widowhood can put on women. Drawing from her own journey of finding purpose and resilience after losing her spouse, she shares practical guidance on the legal, financial, and logistical considerations every person should have in place, both before and after becoming a widow - from end-of-life planning to navigating the lengthy estate closure process. We also explore the idea that while grief and pain are unavoidable, suffering is a choice.

Our conversation offers a roadmap for empowering widows to heal, grow, and lead, while also providing actionable steps to better support themselves or their loved ones through this life-altering transition.
