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. Healers and Heal-Liners Widowhood has the capability of sending women into menopause. You’re helping someone heal simply by being a good listener. Suffering is a choice and pain is necessary. Grief is a natural response to losing someone you love. There are 2800 women who become a widow every day in the US and we currently have 14 million widows in the US.  Learn More About Carolyn Moor and The Modern Widows Club Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modernwidowsclub Website: https://modernwidowsclub.org HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ Sign up for Marie Forleo’s B-School: https://marieforleobschool.com/enroll/?partner=healsquadxmaria&banner=fec190fd Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=healsquad ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
