Support group formed for modern widows

by | Sep 3, 2020 | Latest

Most clubs are excited for the prospect of new members, the Modern Widows Club, however, is not a typical club in this regard. The club is de­termined to funnel grief into a force of positivity and is dedi­cated to providing hope and healing to grieving women al­lowing them to live their best lives.

The club was founded in Florida, but when Sachse resi­dent Gail Bayron lost her hus­band in 2013, she found that many “local” support groups meant traveling to Irving or McKinney. About three years ago, she discovered the Mod­ern Widows Club, but was disappointed to see that there were no local chapters.
