ABOUT THE WIDOW SQUAD
We’ve been empowering widows for years
Our journeys began individually, as we each built successful online businesses catered to widows, but we realized that our collective experience and expertise could be combined to create something truly powerful
We set out on a mission to spread hope, offer unrivaled resources, and build the support system we know widows need
Connected by a common thread
We met each other virtually and instantly bonded over our shared experience of grief, solo-parenting, and remarriage.
As we exchanged stories about the rollercoaster of grief, we found a common thread that fueled our souls – this crazy urge to lift up and support other widows worldwide. We knew that sharing our collective experiences, lessons learned, and even the occasional missteps would pave the way for genuine connections and meaningful growth.
We created a place where widows from all over could find comfort, inspiration, and a shared determination to rebuild their lives

Kim Murray learned more than she ever wanted to know about grief, loss and solo-parenting when her husband died of terminal brain cancer in 2014. Since then, she’s made it her mission to share the no-BS version of widowhood, using her candid and unflinchingly honest approach.
