Welcome to Club Wid

We’re sorry that you’re here but happy that you found us.

We are an open and welcoming community created by and for widows, particularly those who experienced premature partner loss, to support and understand your grief of your person. As an online support community, we are respectful of one another.  

Our Story:

Club Wid was founded in 2015 in Minneapolis, Minnesota as the Hot Young Widows Club by Moe Richardson and Nora McInerney who were introduced to each other after each losing their person in 2014. They began referring to their coffee shop hangouts as The Hot Young Widows Club. With time this evolved into a local group of fellow young widows and then an online community of young widows. After Moe and Nora took a step back, we became Club Wid, an online community of widows maintained and operated by its members. Currently administrated by members John Garcia and Patrick Shumar, we provide community and support for young widows throughout North America and the World through our online forum. Fellow widows, please read further if you’re interested in joining the best club that you never wanted to join.

One of our members, Annie Kuo, was recently highlighted in an article in the Seattle Times. She has created an in person meetup group for young widows in the Seattle area. You can read the article here. More information on the Seattle group can be found at the link at the top of the page.
