Kathryn Monaco-Douglas shares her journey of when she became a widow over 20 years ago when her husband Larry died, they had been married for over 19 years and had 3 kids. She had to learn how to do things on her own, because Larry used to take care of everything and was also the financial provider.

Kathryn started searching for bereavement groups, and found very few options for support. That is where she met Scott, her husband, who was a widower. After attending a few bereavement groups, she realized she could not listen to everyone's journey and take "their losses on top of hers". So she decided she would change it! A few years later, she launched Widowed Not Alone, an organization to help widows, widowers and their families have a place where they could come together and have support.
