Our founder Modern Widows Club® Carolyn Moor sits down with renowned neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, author of The Grieving Brain and The Grieving Body, for a groundbreaking conversation that will validate everything you've been experiencing. 💡

What You'll Discover:

The Science Behind Your Experience: Why your brain believes your person still exists while knowing they've died The real reason you feel like you're "losing your mind" (spoiler: you're not!) How grief creates actual physiological changes in your body

💜 Why This Matters:

Dr. O'Connor's research proves what we've known at MWC for 12 years—grief is a natural learning process that requires time, support, and comprehensive care. This isn't just about "getting through it"—it's about understanding the incredible transformation happening within you - although unwanted.

Tag a widow who needs to hear this science-backed validation of their journey. Sometimes understanding the "why" behind what we're experiencing is the first step toward healing.
