HOLISTIC HEALTH FOR THE MODERN WIDOW 

Modern Widows Club is the leading expert in advancing holistic widow support, research, education and advocacy worldwide, with programs focusing on the Seven Pillars of Healthy Widowhood.
 
Holistic health is essential because the mind and body connection cannot be detached, so unaddressed emotional pain results in physical manifestations.
"I don’t even know where to begin to thank you for the countless blessings I feel that I have received in such a short period of time from becoming a part of the Modern Widows Club. I am so grateful to be a part of something that I believe is benefiting widows beyond their dreams. For the first time in years I feel truly understood and validated."
— MWC Wister® (Widow + Sister)
